This goes for other players too. -The_Templar | ||

Sure but he was arrested for receiving money for match fixing. It's in the op. It is NOT legal to do so btw, at least not in the Netherlands but I'm not sure about all European countries. | ||

On a slightly related note, I recall reading not long ago about a Hungarian woman, who works in Germany, and her work is somehow related to prostitutes. Not that she herself is a prostitute, but does some administration or other stuff for them, which, in Hungary, would count as procurement and would be illegal, but it is legal in Germany. And I read that she can't come home, because she would be arrested if she did so, because an act of crime by Hungarian standards is punishable even if commited outside of Hungary, even if in a country where it would not be illegal. Actually, I was pretty shocked to hear that, but if it's truly the case in Hungary, maybe it is possible in Korea, too? Sounds weird, though... Anyway, I don't think Life was arrested for going to casinos... | ||

Just stating that he might get charged with gambling on top of what he was arrested for. | ||

First hit I got when I googled legal gaming age in Europe. From what I read Spain Denmark and Finland are all 18 as well. Parts of Germany too. In the US casinos restrict under 21 because they serve free alcohol, but you can gamble from 18-on as well. Some of the articles Inread explicitly said casinos and others said gambling so it's possible some of those countries have a similar thing going on as the U.S. | ||

I love how the difference in age restrictions implies that alcohol is considered more harmful than gambling in the US. The "under 21" US rule makes little sense to many people; when you can enlist in the army and go kill/get killed in war, be a porn-star, gamble, smoke, get married & divorced, all when you're 18, makes little sense you'd wait an additional 3 years to have a beer. But, like most stupid laws here, the reason for it is money - states get additional federal funds for traffic/highway safety if they have the 21-yr-old rule. | ||

If it is really so, than saying that the reason is money is rather shortsighted, isn't it? Who gives the money? What is their motivation? There can't be an infinite chain of institution paying the ones below them to enforce the rule, right? Anyway, this system where the states essentially compete in being the government with the federal structures is really confusing. Americans need to think about it next time they complain that the rest of the world doesn't get their politics  | ||

So basically the federal government use the federal tax money as an incentive for an extra fund if the states enact a law that would prohibit under 18 drinking. And yes, US government system can be really confusing. I spend the first year living there trying to wrap my head around the system. | ||

Well age restrictions will never be 100% logical. E.g. as soon as the girl is 16 (with consent of course) in the UK you can have rough sex shit on her chest and all is good. But buy her a light beer and you're in trouble. | ||

It wasn't exactly for "money" as posted above. States didn't receive additional funds for traffic maintenance; they were told if they did not raise the drinking age they would receive nothing at all. This actually substantially increased both under age consumption and drunk driving. Back to the point though, i think the whole concept was that there is in fact a precedence for Lifes gambling inclination, therefore the logic follows that the worst case may in fact be true. | ||

And when you once got fixed with gambling outside of korea, who knows if he not went to the underground gambling areas in korea. And lost even more. And was soon desperate for cash and got hit up with shady persons of that buisness. We have to wait and see, but alot of that makes sense even when everything is just rumor. | ||
