South Korean police recently completed a year-long special crackdown on online gambling, which lasted from November 2024 to October this year, achieving significant results. A large number of suspects were arrested during the operation, and a substantial amount of illegal funds were recovered, with a high level of involvement among young people, drawing attention.
Background and Overall Results
According to ChosunBiz, the National Investigation Bureau (NOI) of the Korean National Police Agency led this crackdown. During this period, about 314 people were further detained, and authorities successfully recovered approximately 123.5 billion Korean Won (about 83.6 million USD) in gambling proceeds. This part of the funds will be used for public welfare, and honestly, the figure is quite astonishing.
Detailed Data and Age Analysis
According to NOI statistics, gamblers in their twenties account for about a quarter of the total, while those in their thirties account for more than half—these two age groups together make up over 50%. You see, the proportion of young people is significant, reflecting the trend of younger demographics in online gambling.
