Online Lottery in Japan

The lottery has a long tradition in Japan, being played since the 1600s. As online lotto news sites in Japan report, it became illegal in the 19th Century, but in 1945, the Japanese lottery, known as "takara kuji" (meaning "treasure lottery"), was established in order to raise funds to help with the reconstruction of post-war Japan. Nowadays, 47 prefectures and the major cities in the country provide lotto games at a land-based level, but also through online lotto sites in Japan.

Online Lottery Laws in Japan

Although Article 187 of the Japanese Penal Code prohibits the lottery, the game became legal under the Lottery Ticket Act and can be organized under the approval of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. According to the act, operators can also sell lotto tickets online. However, due to the limited offer, the Japanese often access offshore online lotto sites. The access to these is, in theory, illegal, but players find ways to circumvent the law. Moreover, on those platforms, they are able to win bigger jackpot prizes, but also to get better opportunities such as online lotto bonuses in Japan.

Online Lottery Payment Methods in Japan

In order to keep providing safe and fair environments to players, operators can only accept transparent money transactions. The credit and debit cards of VISA and MasterCard are fully available, but there are also other alternatives that are as efficient and reliable. These include Neteller, PayPal or ecoPayz. For more information, consult the online lotto reviews directory in Japan.

Online Lottery Sites Accepting JPY

As Japan has a national lottery, it is possible to find online lottery sites accepting JPY. This means that Japanese players do not have to pay conversion fees and are able to control better their accounts.
