South Korea 6/45 Lottery is an online lottery that has 45 balls. Of these balls, seven are drawn and the lottery tickets allow bettors to only choose six numbers. The seventh number drawn stands as an extra ball. The lottery is drawn once a week, every Saturday nights. One ticket costs ₩1,000. The government taxes lottery winnings with 22 percent tax for prizes of up to 50 million and 33 percent for winnings more than 50 million. Another form of lottery that is becoming increasingly popular is the Bok-Kwon or the Pension 520 Lottery. Only introduced last July 2011, this lottery uses pre-printed tickets and is drawn every Wednesday. Bok-Kwon has fixed odds and tax rate is only 22 percent regardless of the jackpot prize. 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.

Skrill is an online bank account that is extremely popular for making deposits and withdrawals to online gambling sites in Korea. If you are serious about using euro gambling sites open an account at www.skrill.com in euro (NOT South Korean won) currency. Although Skrill supports won currency, deposits are converted from won to euro when depositing and from euro back to won when withdrawing. All these conversions will involve a lot of currency exchange fees, which means you will be losing money each time you deposit and withdraw money. The easiest way is to deposit and withdraw in Euros and then withdraw these to your bank account or at an ATM machine. By doing this you will only have to pay exchange fees once, rather than several times. Trust me on this tip and understand, once you select your currency you cannot change it unless you use Skrill enough to become a VIP. Upon joining Skrill immediately begin the process of verifying your account as this takes a while. One step is confirming your address. When you request this verification they will send a letter to your home with a code on it that you will need to enter online when it arrives. The second stage in the verification process is bank verification. This can be done at the same time you fund your account, by funding it with a bank wire.

한국은 꽃이 만발한 Bitcoin 장면이있는 나라이며 당국은 Bitcoin 사용을 제한하지 않습니다. 작년 6 월 한국의 비트 코인 (Bitcoin) 도박 회사 인 사토시 노리 (Satoshinori) 베타 테스트 결과, 동아시아 온라인 도박 시장 (불법 포함) * 49 억 달러 규모의 제품을 테스트했다. 회사는 다른 많은 Bitcoin 카지노와 동일한 가정하에 운영했을 것입니다. 즉, Bitcoin은 통화가 아니므로 Bitcoin 도박은 합법적이거나 적어도 온라인 도박을 금지하는 법률이 적용되는 국가에서도 명시 적으로 불법이 아닙니다.
