Abstract

This study aims to examine foreign cases regarding an illegal lottery, devise solutions, and prevent the spread of the illegal lottery in order to prevent the illegal lottery market from being recently extended rapidly via the internet and SNS (Social Network Service). To achieve the goal of this study, this paper figures out domestic and foreign cases and suggests how to use solutions from foreign countries. A lottery has become popular more and more with a longer history than other speculation businesses. Hence, many people use it for play rather than gambling and use various types of lottery such as housing lottery, instant printed lottery, number-selection lottery, sports lottery, and more. Since lotto that is a number-selection lottery with a high dividend rate started to be sold in February, 2002, a lot of men and women of all ages have purchased it. Furthermore, as the tax revenue security became easier due to the success of the lottery, many types of lotteries spring up everywhere. A flood of the lotteries results in a serious addiction phenomenon and becomes a social problem because some people run through all their money. In particular, recently, the number of internet advertisements that lead people to purchase an illegal lottery with a high dividend rate via the internet and SNS (Social Network Service) has increased. Hence, the illegal lottery is more likely to become a serious social issue. As the number of illegal lottery businesses in foreign countries increases, the illegal lottery becomes a serious problem because it is used as a source of funds for a confidence trick and a gang. As for China, an old printed illegal lottery called Yook Hap Chae has been used until now. Thus, the Chinese government positively copes with this. In the United States, the illegal lottery via the internet is particularly severe. Thus, the government shuts down the internet in order to prevent it. Based on these foreign cases, this paper presents a variety of methods to prevent the illegal lottery market that has been gradually spread in South Korea such as blocking of ads via the internet and SNS, blocking of a suspected bank account for foreign illegal lotteries, regulation of the online sales for illegal lotteries, and active responses for printed lottery issuers.
