Recently, due to the controversy over illegal sports betting by celebrities, voices for strengthening crackdowns on private sports Toto (대출갤러리) are growing, but private Toto using the Internet and smartphones is still prevalent.



On the 16th and 17th, when the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifiers and national soccer team friendly matches were concentrated, reporters accessed a soccer game broadcast on a famous real-time broadcasting site on the Internet, and were guided to private Toto through the relay screen.



Private Toto is a structure that allows you to sign up simply by entering your name, mobile phone number, and bank account number for withdrawal and deposit. Of course, there was no adult authentication procedure to block the entry of teenagers.

During the sign-up process, a person in charge of Private Toto reassured them over the phone, saying, "Since the site is operated based on an overseas server, it is not subject to domestic law."

When the money was deposited into a bank account under the name of a corporation, betting was possible immediately. In addition to the national soccer game, Private Toto has a variety of games to bet on, such as overseas soccer second division games, the Russian hockey league, and e-sports.



In addition to the general way to bet on wins, draws, and losses, betting services such as the team that gets the first free throw in basketball and the team that wins by quarter were varied. Private Toto like this was equally available on smartphones.



As of last year, the size of the 토토갤러리 market identified by the Gambling Industry Integration Supervision Committee under the Prime Minister’s Office was 7.6 trillion won, more than twice as large as the total official sports Toto sales of 2.8 trillion won according to the National Sports Promotion Act. Recently, even famous entertainers such as comedian Lee Soo-geun were caught by the prosecution for private toto worth billions of won.



The reason why people are so enthusiastic about private Toto is because of the relatively high dividend and the upper limit of the betting amount.

In fact, when Korea won the friendly match between Korea and Switzerland held on the 15th, official sports Toto could get 2.32 times the bet, but private Toto could get 2.65 times.

Private Toto can bet up to several million won, but official Toto can only bet up to 100,000 won.



Experts say that along with the activation of smart devices, the perception that sports are not 'gambling' but 'betting' is encouraging lending galleries.

When a site is discovered, it is immediately moved to another overseas server, so it is difficult to block it fundamentally.

Jeon Yeong-min, head of the Seoul Regional Center at the Korea Gambling Problem Management Center, said, "Private Toto is easily accessed through the Internet and smartphones, and unlike card gambling, it has a positive image of 'sports', so even teenagers are addicted to it without thinking of gambling." If you win money a few times, you will think, 'You can easily earn money with just one click', and eventually you will become addicted to it."



An official from the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's Cyber Investigation Team said, "Since most of the servers are located overseas, it is difficult to track the operator, and even if the perpetrators are arrested, it is difficult to punish them if they do not have a habit or if the amount is small."
