Illegality of Online Casinos

Recently, there have been reports of celebrities and athletes using online casinos and suspending some of their activities.

Many online casinos are said to be operated overseas, but even if they are operating legally in those countries, accessing these sites and gambling at online casinos from within Japan is considered "gambling" or "habitual gambling".

Although there is some misinformation that online casinos are operated legally in foreign countries, using online casinos is considered gambling and habitual gambling, and violates Article 185 of the Penal Code and Article 186 of the same law.

Gambling through online casinos is a crime. Please do not use it.
