Gambling via online casinos is a criminal offense
Uncategorized
Please note that gambling through online casinos is prohibited under Japanese law.
Although online casinos may be legally operated in certain jurisdictions overseas, accessing such websites from within Japan to engage in gambling constitutes a criminal offense under Japanese law, including violations such as illegal gambling.
In cases where fund transfers to online casinos are identified, we may impose restrictions on the relevant transactions.
