The Background Picture

The South Koreans have for long been in a moral dilemma. They have always loved their gambling. But their Government is in denial. One of the world’s sterling democracies, this young country has been praised worldwide for their liberal values. Gambling has been with Korea since ancient times, and even features strongly in their mythologies and even religious texts. Yet, it seems anathema to discuss gambling in decent society, and the Government too seems to agree. But not being legalized has not in any way dimmed the prospects of gambling in this country. In fact, gambling has not only thrived but expanded its operations with each passing day. The introduction of Online Gambling has only fanned the flames of popularity. It was in 1991 that the country was affiliated with The United Nations. Strangely enough when the South Korean Charter of Democracy was presented at the bar of The United Nations, no mention was made in the Charter of the legality or otherwise of Korean Gambling. As a result of this Korean gambling has progressed without hindrance from the law makers. Though the forces of Law and Order assert the illegality of online gambling, the most popular form of online sports gambling flourishes unhindered. 토토사이트 — Toto Sites now number several thousands in this small but enormously affluent country.

Good Sites Bad Sites

The country now has literally millions of recipient devices for the onward transmission of the most popular form of online Sports gambling, called Toto. Toto, of course, is the most popular type loved by Koreans but is also followed, at a distance, by Proto. In the year 2000, Casinos on the ground were announced to be legal. Casinos were setup in different South Korean cities, like Seoul, Incheon, Busan, Jeong Seong, Pyeong Chang Gun, Sokch-o, Cheju-do Island and Pusan. These casinos were set up to cater mainly to foreign tourists, many of whom seemed to have stayed back and started Bookie shops to enable vast multitudes of Koreans to bet. But the proliferation of 토토사이트 — Toto Sites has led to most of them being declared as Bad Sites. The search by customers for Good Sites, where they would not be cheated, has led to the formation of Toto Syndicates who have enacted their own laws for fair play, in the absence of legal support. These special testing sites apply up to fifteen tests to every fresh applicant. The lists of passed out sites is made available to the customers who are also registered with these testing sites. Operating under the umbrella of these testing sites, both the gambling house and the gambler are protected, to some extent, from unfair practices and cheating. This then is the current situation in South Korea.
