Any Japan based sportsbooks?

[Ced's shadow]

Thinking of moving out of the country and looking forward to stay linked to the industry. Suggestions?

I believe sports gambling is illegal in Japan . You can get yourself in trouble .
The way to do it same as you do in US (i assume you are from US) .
And if you decide to gamble you better use netteller or ** . No bank wires or you will get in trouble.
Cheers .

There are no sportsbooks that do not allow Japanese residents to hold accounts that I am aware of. Neteller also allows Japanese residents to have an account. If you wanted to be extra cautious just open a bank account in H.K. or Singapore.

how can you just open a bank account in another country ,don't you need some form of national tax number (in canada we have a social insurance, in u.s it social security) just curious

but you are right, if pinnacle doesn't ban the country than whatever the law is on paper it probably isn't enforced

It differs from country to country. In Hong Kong you can either have a law firm open an account for you without leaving the house, for a substatial fee. Or you can go there yourself with your passport and proof of address which they check by sending you something. In Singapore you can fill out an app. online to get approval at certian international banks.

Keep in mind it differs from bank to bank.

that's right.. all sportsbooks accept Japanese, as long as you have identity proof of that country..
