South Korean police charge 19 people over alleged illegal gambling network
South Korea's Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency charged 19 people over an alleged illegal gambling operation, police said. Investigators said the website and related venues operated from June 2022 until July last year, and estimated that about 1,300 customers used them; police put the site's proceeds at about $11m but said the network's exact financial value was still being calculated.
The charges and police warning underscore enforcement risks for illegal gambling operators and customers in South Korea.
