Whenever you order a beer can in Cambodia, pull back the tab and check what it says underneath. Sometimes you will win USD$1, other times 1000 Riel, other times a free beer. The biggest prizes are motorbikes and cars.
When you win the tabs, take them to a corner shop or non-chain supermarket. Some places accept them, some won't. Street vendors are also more likely to accept them. Some places will charge 500 riel per beer for the winning pull tab, but this depends on the person. Established bars and chain supermarkets are unlikely to accept them.
If you're not sure what prize you've one, use Google Translate Lens to translate.
The crazy thing is that around 50% of the time, you win something. Keep your tabs and you'll have a lot of free beers in Cambodia.
Cambodia Beer always has this promotions. Others that sometimes have promotions include:
Anchor Beer
Hanuman Beer
Krud Beer
Ganzberg Beer
Vattanac Premium Light
The government did announce a plan to stop the promotions as they can encourage alcoholism, however a year on from the announcement there have been no deadlines announced to stop the promotions.
