Formally, online gambling is banned in Japan, but online betting on international betting sites is actually in no way limited by the state.
The lack of state regulations, primarily with regard to online gambling cannot but affect the activities of Japanese players. However Japan is significantly behind European countries in this regard. On average, the number of players participating in sports betting does not exceed 5 to 7 million local residents on a monthly basis.
The most popular sports for betting in Japan are: baseball, football, golf, boxing, sumo wrestling and motorcycle racing and in recent years there has been an increasing interest in betting on football and martial arts, for example betting on MMA matches.
