Sports Toto's principle of face-to-face sales and purchases when purchasing stores
Dec 25, 2024

Sports Toto's 'face-to-face sales' refers to a method in which an operator (a direct family member, employee, etc.) meets with a customer (including a store operator, etc.) and pays in cash or real-time account transactions at a store where a release device is installed.
Non-face-to-face sales (or transactions) rather than face-to-face sales are highly likely to violate regulations such as restrictions on the sale and purchase of sports promotion voting rights stipulated in the National Sports Promotion Act (hereinafter referred to as the Promotion Act). Non-face-to-face transactions are prohibited in principle because most of them are illegal transactions exceeding 100,000 won per person per issuance specified in the Promotion Act. Article 30 (1) and (2) of the Promotion Act stipulate that sports promotion voting rights should not be sold, purchased, mediated, arranged, or refunded to youth and sports promotion voting rights workers and executives and employees of Gyeonggi organizations under the Youth Protection Act, respectively.
In addition, the Promotion Act allows people to request the presentation of identification certificates if necessary to sell or pay refunds for sports promotion voting rights. These regulations are essential measures designed to ensure transparency and fairness of the sports promotion voting rights project and to create a healthy purchasing culture. Despite these legal provisions and regulations, there are cases of non-face-to-face transactions between some buyers and stores, causing social problems.
If non-face-to-face transactions are caught, stores may be subject to sanctions such as termination of the contract, and buyers are also subject to legal punishment. Sports Toto Korea is continuously focusing on guidance activities to eradicate these illegal activities. Sports Toto can only be purchased by customers visiting the store in person or through the official online site 'Betman'. If the purchase is made through a route other than that, it is considered illegal, and strong legal action is followed when caught.
An official from Sports Toto Korea said, `Non-face-to-face transactions are prohibited in principle, and are a serious violation of Sports Toto's fairness and transparency.'"We hope that all stores and customers will adhere to the principles and practice sound participation for the expansion of the sports base and the continuous development of Sports Toto as a healthy leisure culture.'
