Japan’s House of Representatives has passed a bill to ban online casinos in Japan. This bill aims to tackle the growing problem of illegal online gambling which is getting out of hand due to its accessibility and addiction.

The bill was passed by majority vote and mainly targets the dissemination of online casino content through social media and other digital platforms. Social network operators will have to remove online casino information to stop the spread of illegal gambling. This is part of the effort to revise the existing laws to combat gambling addiction more effectively.

The bill is now being deliberated in the House of Councillors and expected to be enacted by June 22 this year. The bill’s progress shows a bipartisan support to address the problem of unregulated online gambling in Japan.

This is Japan’s move to regulate gambling and protect its people from the harm of online casinos.
