Reports of illegal sports gambling operators and users can be made via the Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center website or by calling '1899-1119'

Citizens are urged to voluntarily report illegal sports gambling-related activities. Sports Toto Korea will do its best to reduce cases of damage caused by illegal sports gambling.

'By reporting illegal sports gambling operators to the Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center (1899-1119), you can receive a reward of up to 200 million won.'

The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, which issues sports promotion lottery Sports Toto, has informed that if illegal sports gambling operators are reported to the Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center, a reward of up to 200 million won can be received.

'The Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center' has implemented a system that provides rewards for reporting operators and users of illegal sports gambling sites, site addresses, and other related information. Reports can be made through the Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center website or by phone (1899-1119).

According to the current National Sports Promotion Act, operating and using illegal sports gambling is a clear criminal act punishable by up to seven years in prison or a fine of up to 70 million won, as well as up to five years in prison or a fine of up to 50 million won. However, illegal sports gambling sites continue to thrive.

Reports related to participants in sports match-fixing can earn up to 50 million won, while reports on illegal sports gambling sites, including users, designing, producing, distributing, providing, mediating, and soliciting, or providing information on sporting events and preventing fair implementation, can earn up to 15 million won.

Reporting illegal sports gambling sites can be done by accessing the main page, verifying identity, entering the site address (URL), and connection information (ID, password, referrer, etc.), and attaching evidence materials. Reporters can receive a reward of 15,000 won per report, with a limit of 1.5 million won per person per month.

Reports of illegal sports gambling site deposit accounts can be made simultaneously with site reports, and a reward of 100,000 won per report (with no limit) will be provided based on the review results. However, since the reward payment results or notification content will be sent via text message (LMS), reporters must accurately enter their personal phone number registered with the reporting center.

A representative of Sports Toto Korea noted, "Cases of damage and the amount lost through illegal sports gambling sites have been increasing every year," adding, "The Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center operates a reward system to encourage voluntary participation from citizens, and Sports Toto Korea will also do its best to reduce the damage caused by illegal sports gambling."

Meanwhile, further details related to the reward for reporting illegal sports Toto sites can be found on the Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center website.
