The crackdown team identified one branch office, which served as a regional headquarters for an online illegal gambling site, and one unlicensed gaming establishment, seizing about 20 internet PCs. The betting amount over two months at the two establishments was confirmed to be approximately 18 billion KRW.
Kangwon Land and Jeongseon Police Station signed a business agreement last year to prevent illegal gambling, and they have been continuously conducting focused crackdowns on illegal gaming venues and gambling activities as well as joint prevention efforts.
They also operate a reward system for reporting, encouraging citizen participation, strengthening confidentiality for informants, and establishing new criteria for reward payments based on the scale of the gambling venue and the contribution of the informant, thereby enhancing illegal gambling reporting and surveillance activities.
