Taiwan has become the latest Asian nation to reveal plans to crack down on online gambling in recent months.
Taiwanese lawmakers introduced earlier this month a draft amendment to the nation’s existing gambling law in a bid to criminalize online gambling and impose higher penalties on individual gamblers caught breaking the rules.
Any Taiwanese citizen who uses “telecommunications equipment, electronic communications, internet or other similar means” to gamble commits a crime and can face a penalty of up to NT$50,000 (approx. $1,612 dollars).
The nation’s Supreme Court ruled that gambling websites were not “public” or “open” spaces under Taiwan’s current law and that legislators should change the wording if they wanted to bring gamblers to court for their violations.
