 Decree 06/2017/ND-CP, issued by the Vietnamese government on January 24, 2017, and effective from March 31, 2017, provides a legal framework for betting on Greyhound  and Horse racing, and within Vietnam 

• Decree 06 was issued on 24 January 2017 to regulate betting on horse racing, greyhound racing, and international soccer in Vietnam. It provided a legal pilot framework for these activities.

• However, under Decree 06, actual implementation was extremely limited in scope; strict rules (e.g., high capital requirements, bet-caps, limited jurisdictions) effectively kept legal horse/dog betting dormant. Experts and reporting note that, although football betting was “legal in theory,” it never took off meaningfully, leaving underground markets dominant.

Dog racing and Horse racing is inherently Barbaric Legal and Illegal . The racing and betting industry is built on the exploitation suffering and death of Greyhounds Horses and other Animals

In legal racing, greyhounds and horses are subjected to high risks of injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and internal damage, along with intense training, confinement, overbreeding, and frequent use of drugs that mask pain and force them to compete while injured.

Retired or unsuccessful animals are often abandoned, euthanised, or sent to slaughter or exported to countries with zero animal welfare.

These harms escalate in illegal racing, where there are no safety standards, veterinary care, or oversight; animals may be subjected to extreme neglect, dangerous makeshift tracks, harsh training methods, heavy doping, and, in greyhound racing, practices like live baiting. Illegal circuits are also closely linked to gambling and organized crime, resulting in even greater cruelty and higher rates of injury and death for both dogs and horses.

Illegal gambling is especially dangerous because it often involves organised crime, fraud, and violence, putting people at risk of exploitation or unsafe situations.
