Online Casino regulator now also planned in Japan.

The government of Japan is working at full speed: A supervisory authority for casinos is now also to be active there. It was only announced last Friday that a regulatory authority should be formed as early as 2020.

It is obvious that there are some preparatory measures to be taken. In Japan too, the supervisory authority should be subject to strict criteria, so that the casinos are bound by many restrictions. Other countries such as Malta are already doing this because the casinos licensed there must also meet many strict guidelines in order to be able to obtain the license.

Control and gambling addiction prevention

The casino licenses usually have two central tasks. The planned supervisory authority in Japan should also follow this example: On the one hand, it is important to keep an eye on all activities of the casino operators. In addition, safety factors and player protection play an important role. Casinos need to be safe for their visitors, which also brings the issue of preventing gambling addiction to the agenda. Underage players, for example, must be protected accordingly.

At the moment, Japan is only about real casino resorts, not online casinos. For this purpose it is currently being checked whether there are enough large rooms available. It is also important for future casino operators that the casinos are located in large cities so that they are easily accessible to tourists.

The Japanese population is more likely to speak out against casinos

The citizens of Japan have mixed feelings about the opening of the casino resorts. A large part even rejects the casinos completely. The citizens, who are not against the resorts per se, at least wish that there would be none in their own city.



It is also interesting that not only the population is critical. Even experts from the financial sector are unsure whether the future casino operators and the government are not overshooting the target a little. Casinos cost a lot of money, especially with the planned size of billions of dollars. The hope, of course, is that the investment will pay off. Gambling is booming all over the world and those on a budget are sure to find their way to Japan.

Japan as an example of the boom in the gambling market

Japan is yet another country trying to jump on the gambling train. Without a doubt, land-based casinos with a special flair are just as popular as online casinos, which are accessible from anywhere. With the planned casino resorts, the land-based casino should once again show that players can feel comfortable here and put their money on the table in the most beautiful atmosphere.

Provided that the player protection and strict guidelines are adhered to, nothing speaks against this plan. It remains to be seen how the implementation will actually look in 2020. One can also look forward to the opinion of the citizens, who have expressed themselves quite critical of the casino resorts in Japan.
