Online Sports Betting Laws in Japan

Sports betting is mainly regulated by the Act on Carrying Out, etc Sports Promotion Vote (Act No. 63 of 1998). And according to the law, municipal operators or the Japanese government can offer these games online. Nevertheless, bettors usually seek other alternatives. This means that they access offshore online sportsbook sites where they can bet on more sports and on higher odds. Moreover, some of the largest bookmakers offer their pages in Japanese and give players the opportunity to get some of the best Japanese online sportsbook bonuses and online sportsbook promotions in Japan available on the market. Even though the authorities have tried to criminalize these bettors in the past, recent events have proved that until there is specific online regulation, there is nothing they can do about it.

Online Sports Betting Payment Methods in Japan

There are several payment methods available when depositing and withdrawing winnings. Of course, so that operators keep running safe platforms, every money transaction must be transparent. In this way, the credit and debit cards of VISA and MasterCard are usually accepted. But there are also alternatives that are as efficient, such as Neteller, PayPal, ecoPayz, AstroPay or Jeton.
