Article 246 of the Criminal Act states that any person caught engaging in any betting activity for the purpose of earning a profit is punishable by a fine of not exceeding five million won. Gambling activities for momentary pleasure are allowed. Those who are categorized as habitual gamblers can receive a prison sentence of up to three years or be required to pay a fine amounting to 20 million won. The said betting regulations are applicable to all Korean citizens regardless of where they play. The law applies even though the gambling activity is done outside the country’s borders and are strictly implemented to the dismay of many. Koreans face fines and prison sentences even if they engage in gambling activities in Macau or Las Vegas. To date, it is legal to gamble on bicycle racing and horse racing and to bet on basketball, baseball, football, golf, volleyball, and Ssirum, a traditional wrestling regarded as the national sport of the country. The locals can also try their luck in several lotteries. Koreans can legally bet on football, volleyball, basketball, baseball, golf, and Ssirum in two ways: Sports Toto or pari-mutuel betting and Sports Proto or fixed odds betting. In Sports Toto, the punters can place their bets into a pool. Half of the pooled bet accounts for operation costs, duty, and profit margins while the remaining half is paid to the winner of the bet.

However, South Korean casinos are only available for foreigners – local residents are only allowed in one South Korean casino, Gangwonland, for which the restriction against the entrance of local residents is relaxed pursuant to the Special Act on Support of Development of Abandoned Mine Areas. Online gambling is strictly prohibited under South Korean law. The reason for this is that South Korean laws do not make a distinction between land based and online gambling. According to Article 247 of the Criminal Code, anyone conducting illegal gambling in South Korea is subject to criminal prosecution and faces charges of up to 5 years in prison or KRW 30 million (approx. $26,000). This clause is pertinent to online gambling operations as well. Only online sales of lottery tickets is specifically permitted.

Volleyball Toto is my personal favorite. This matches two teams together and you select 1) the correct set score and 2) the winning margin of the first set (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7+). When this was a new game (2008-2010) if you boxed all possible set scores with all first set winning margins of 2 and 7+ you would have made an ROI of 75%. (This was amazing and sharp bettors made a lot on this). This is gone as the market has matured, but there are still inefficiencies. For casual bettors, what is offered online at 1Xbet for volleyball provides much more value – still there is room for pros to exploit market inefficiencies with this toto game. Golf Toto -There are several games in Golf Toto, one of my favorites pairs one player against eleven others. You select if he will win-draw-or lose against each player. A trick to finding +EV wagers is to pick him to beat 10 players and to lose to an eleventh who is a contender but not expected to win. This is essentially predicting first and second, and for the first choosing one of the lesser popular players with a chance. For casual bettors again online offers better odds. There is however two more golf toto games that are decent as far as lottery is concerned. These are 1) Special Game – predict 5 or 7 player’s 1st round score and 2) Win/Draw/Loss Game – Predict 5 matches’(10 player) Win-Draw-Lose.
