 |
|
Is legal? Has anybody done it before?
What are the alternatives to online? I know you used to be able to bet on the horse racing by phone or internet but I believe thats been done away with. But do the casinos that cater to foreigners offer any such services?
Im not much of a gambler so, please no lectures. Also if its illegal, I am not interested in breaking or circumventing any laws.
Thanks |

| I don't know all of the particulars, but back in 2010 a British co-worker of mine was wagering online fairly often, on the English Premier League to be more specific. |

Most of the popular betting sites are blocked by the government. You know that screen that pops up when you try to view um... adult content.... Easy to get around that with a vpn but, I am assuming the sites are blocked because its illegal in Korea.
Honestly it wouldnt surprise to learn that online betting is perfectly legal from an approved site.
Anyways, its not really that important but if anyone knows anything please do tell. |

| Been doing it for over 6 years in korea with no issues. Use mirror sites for those that are blocked, and an ewallet |

| Since they have a public service ad warning about the dangers of online betting before every movie showing, I'd say yes. |

It might be illegal to operate/offer services as a sportsbook, but certainly not illegal to wager online |

The danger is getting sucked in and losing all your money. It's not about being arrested. |

How does that change what I wrote? You can lose all your money in a casino; there are plenty of stories of guys stuck in Kangwan-do without enough money to get home.
But that doesn't change the fact that the same thing can happen with online gambling,
I may be wrong, but occasionally sentient beings used to post here. Occasionally seems to have become seldom. |

You can also lose all your money buying stuff like purses, or shoes. Perhaps luxury goods should be restricted too? |

That's not losing money; that's spending it unwisely.
And where did I post that I opposed online gambling? I merely answered the OP. |

Both I'd put in the spending unwisely category. However one you do have an asset, the other you pay for the potential of an asset.
Anyways, I personally use a site that begins with a f, and has a b in the middle of the word somewhere. Been working find so far. I believe it's an Aussie company. Started with like $100 some 5 years ago, still got about $100 to work with now... lol |

so are you saying that online wagering is illegal, because of 'dangers', while land-based casinos are also dangerous by your definition, but legal? |
