Gambling through online casinos is a crime ！.

Online casinos allow players to play games online through smartphones or computers and wager cash, crypto assets, or electronic money on the results.
In addition to the slots and card games associated with "casinos," there are also puzzle-like games for smartphones, martial arts, sports, and other games in which players compete to win or lose.

〇 Overseas operated sites are also a crime if used from Japan ！
It is said that many online casino sites are operated overseas, and in recent years there are many Japanese sites targeting Japanese people.
Even if the online casino site is operated legally in the country where the casino is located, it is a crime to access the site from Japan and gamble at the online casino.
"It is safe because it is operated legally overseas" and "There is no law against it in Japan", etc. However, it is a crime to access online casinos and gamble from within Japan. There is no "gray zone" in the illegality of online casinos.　
z Gambling offenses related to online casinos
The use of online casinos constitutes "gambling" or "habitual gambling".
In addition, if you are involved in the payment process of online casinos in Japan, such as deposits and withdrawals, or if you lure people to online casinos by advertising ・ them, you may be charged with "aiding and abetting gambling" and other crimes.
"I didn't know" is not acceptable. You should never do this.
