Posted On Apr 11 2019

Korea betting regulations. Basketball Toto provides punters a unique form of betting opportunity not readily available among online sports betting sites. The main game is guessing whether the home team will win by 6 points or more, away team will win by 6 or more, or none of the team will win by six or more. Punters can also choose to predict the correct ending score in two or three matches and also the halftime scores in a match.

Many locals from South Korea do not have ready access to casinos and poker rooms despite the countries collection of brick-and-mortar casinos. The country has 30 land-based casinos and three horse racing tracks in the country. These casinos, plenty as it may seem, are only for the pleasure and enjoyment of tourists. Citizens have limited access to sports betting but the odds they get are not comparable to what they can benefit from if they gamble online. For this reason, online betting is popular amongst the locals. 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.

Basketball Toto offers unique games that are not found with regular online betting companies. The main game deciding in 14 matches whether home team wins by 6 or more, away team wins by 6 or more or neither team wins by six or more. The other two games are picking the correct score in 2 or 3 matches, or predicting the first half and final half score in a single match. As far as sports lottery is concerned neither is that poor of an option. Baseball Toto is also unlike regular wagers online. The main game is predicting the number of home runs and the number of runs scored separately for each team in 4 games. There’s also a game where you can try to predict the correct score in 2 or 3 matches. Another game lists all teams playing that day and you choose which three will have the highest scores. Finally there is single match toto which is predicting the match’s final score and number of home runs for each team. Considering online baseball betting has the lowest margins of all sports, the odds for baseball toto in Korea are extremely poor compared to those available with foreign bookies.
