Notice Regarding Online Casinos
In recent years, the use of online casinos has become a social issue, and we would like to take this opportunity to advise our users to exercise great caution.
An online casino is a form of gambling conducted via smartphones, computers, or other devices, where players place wagers in cash, crypto assets, or electronic money based on the outcome of games. These are not limited to slot machines or card games typically associated with casinos, but may also include puzzle-like smartphone games, as well as competitions based on martial arts or sports outcomes.
Even if an online casino is legally operated overseas, accessing it from within Japan and engaging in gambling constitutes a criminal offense under Japanese law.
