The Japanese government want to limit the number of visits to the casino by residents of the country and foreign guests by requiring an ID-card for identification.
In order to identify the guest’s identity, it is suggested to use the My Number identification cards embedded in the IC chips, since they contain information such as name, date of birth, photograph that help prevent identity theft. Japanese players will be asked to present their “My Number” ID card every time they enter the gambling establishment.
This step of the government is connected with the recent legalization of gambling and the creation of casino resorts on the territory of the country. Its also considered the possibility of ban advertising in the casino outside the integrated resort areas.
