The campaign, held at Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon at the end of August, was promoted in collaboration with the Gambling Industry Integration Supervision Committee and Korea Sports Leisure Co., Ltd. to eradicate illegal sports gambling and create a healthy betting culture for professional sports visitors.
An official from the Korea Sports Corporation said "Illegal sports gambling is a direct risk factor for users, such as personal information leakage and legal punishment, as well as impairing the fairness of the game due to match manipulation.""We need to actively report illegal activities with the mindset that our declaration protects the sport. "
The three organizations, including the Korea Sports Corporation, plan to expand their campaigns not only to professional sports visitors but also to vulnerable groups of gambling addiction such as soldiers and students.
Meanwhile, illegal sports gambling can be reported through 'Illegal Sports Toto Reporting Center (1899-1119)' or'Illegal Gambling Industry Surveillance Reporting Center (1855-0112)'.
