What Are The Betting Regulations in South Korea?

How expats bet on sports in Korea. Toto sports gambling has gained an immense level of popularity in Korea. There was a time when Koreans used to feel confused and worried due to non-approved websites.

South Koreans can place their bets on horse racing, bicycle racing, lotteries, and Toto sports betting. While the country has a whole lot of land-based casinos, locals are allowed to enter only one. They must be 18 years old to legally bet. The South Korean government places a withholding tax of 22 percent to 30 percent on winnings from lotteries. All other gambling wins are non-taxable. The government, on the other hand, collect tax revenues from operators. 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.

South Korea is a country with a blossoming Bitcoin scene and authorities do not restrict the use of Bitcoin in the country. A number of news pieces were published June last year about a South Korean Bitcoin gambling company, Satoshinori beta testing its products meant to cut the firm a piece of the estimated $49b East-Asian online gambling market (illegal included)*. The company would’ve operated under the same assumption as many other Bitcoin casinos – namely, that as Bitcoin is not a currency, therefore Bitcoin gambling is legal, or at least not explicitly illegal, even in countries with laws otherwise prohibiting online gambling.
