The Korea Racing Authority's Cycling and Racing Headquarters has initiated training and operational checks to enhance the expertise of its illegal gambling monitoring activities.
On October 24, the headquarters held an appointment ceremony and capacity-building training for the illegal gambling monitoring team at the Gwangmyeong Speedom.
This event aimed to improve the practical skills of the monitoring team, which collects and reports information related to illegal gambling both online and on-site.
The monitoring team began its activities on September 7 and consists of 80 members, including 30 online monitoring personnel and 50 on-site monitors.
The training covered the realities of the gambling industry and illegal gambling, enforcement cases, and major types of violations.
Seo Yong-seok, a specialist from the Integrated Supervision Committee for Gambling Industries, and Yoon Hee-dong, a sergeant from the Northern Gyeonggi Police's Criminal Mobile Unit, participated as instructors to explain relevant systems and field cases.
A Q&A session followed, addressing the operation methods of the monitoring team and reporting procedures.
The monitoring team is responsible for inspecting online illegal gambling sites and related promotional materials, as well as gathering and reporting information on illegal gambling activities in the field.
Last year, the monitoring team reported 2,500 illegal sites and 24,012 instances of illegal gambling promotions.
The Cycling and Racing Headquarters plans to continue enhancing the expertise of its monitoring personnel and to work with relevant agencies to prevent and respond to illegal gambling.
A representative from the headquarters stated, "Quick and accurate reporting based on field experience and expertise is crucial for monitoring illegal gambling. We will collaborate with the monitoring team to address illegal gambling activities and promote a healthy leisure culture."
