The Japanese government is considering issuing geoblocking orders for online casino platforms, despite criticism.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan has commissioned a panel of experts to investigate the feasibility of implementing geoblocking measures for online casinos. The experts recently submitted a report to the government, recommending the use of geoblocking technology to regulate access to online casino websites.
The move to potentially geoblock online casinos comes as part of the government's efforts to strengthen regulations around online gambling in Japan. Critics have expressed concerns over the effectiveness and enforcement of geoblocking measures in practice.
