In Japan, under the Criminal Law Chapter 23, gambling is banned in the country apart from horse racing and certain motor sports. On the contrary, under special laws, public sports, lottery, and toto are legal in order to increase the income of national and local governments, as well as to offer a form of entertainment for many people. All other forms of gambling, including online poker and casino style online games are illegal in Japan, resulting in many players in Japan resort to casinos in Macau for such an entertainment.

Japan’s lottery is around for the longest time, since 1630 when it was banned for a short period of time in 1842. Subsequently in 1945, after the World War II, the national lottery was reinstated as it was believed that this form of gambling generate favourable revenues for the government.

Online gambling is illegal in Japan as the government does not grant any licence to operate internet gambling websites in the country. The authority also tries to prevent the people of Japan from involving in online gaming by forbidding them from accessing the foreign internet gambling websites. However, similar to any other part of the world, the internet has no boundary, and therefore, it is difficult to restrict access to such websites as the government has no control over the foreign websites. Hence, players in Japan can use these sites freely via their home computers.
