South Korean politician suggests implementing ‘proxy gambling’ at casinos
In South Korea and a prominent federal politician has reportedly suggested that the nation’s collection of 17 foreigner-only casinos be allowed to start offering mobile wagering so as to more quickly recover from the detrimental impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a report from GGRAsia, Lee Sang-Heon is a member of the country’s National Assembly while his ‘proxy gambling’ proposal would permit casinos to bring in more revenues by offering overseas punters the ability to place real-time bets on live table games via the use of a mobile phone or tablet. The source detailed that such a move could even be further expanded in order to roll out such a streaming facility to pre-registered foreign-born customers located anywhere in South Korea including on the tourist-friendly island of Jeju.
