It's not a bribe if you get nothing in return.

The bribe is for stamping the passport (which is required). My understanding is that every Cambodian border agent expects it. When my wife and I were in Cambodia, I paid my bribe (it was like $2 or $3), then I handed the agent the same bribe for my wife, and he gave me a dollar back as a discount for paying two bribes. I had a hard time not laughing at that.
