Online Lottery Software Licenses and Compliance Requirements in Korea
To run an online lottery system in South Korea, operators must understand the Lottery Tickets and Lottery Fund Act. The country limits lottery issuance to entrusted business entities appointed by the Korea Lottery Commission under the Lottery Tickets and Lottery Fund Act. Operators must submit annual issuance plans and run draws in line with commission rules.
Online lottery platform operators must build and share updated reports, certified RNGs, strict sales cutoffs, and POS reconciliation according to the rules set by the authorities. In Korea, a player’s personal data is governed by PIPA, and cross-border transfers demand explicit consent or PIPC-approved safeguards; PIPC guidance applies PIPA extraterritorially to foreign businesses serving Korean users.
For non-Korean operators, compliance usually partners with a Korean-registered trustee or local partner, uses Korea-hosted processing, and provides documented audit trails regularly to avoid enforcement or blocked payments.
A Cultural and Historical Overview of the Lottery Market in Korea
South Korea’s lottery tradition stretches from the state-run paper draws to today’s digital Lotto 6/45 and Sports Toto formats. South Korean’s trust in national runs deep, and the audience actively engages with popular games, and they are treated as mainstream entertainment rather than fringe gambling.
Legally, lotteries are tightly controlled under the Lottery Tickets and Lottery Fund Act and overseen by appointed trustees and the Korea Lottery Commission.
State-appointed trustees operate national draws and handle issuance, which means private operators must either work with a designated partners or follow strict partner-level requirements to participate.
The South Korean government takes privacy and the following data rules seriously. The amended Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) has set strong obligations on cross-border transfers. Operators that plan on running an online lottery platform for the South Korean audience from offshore must implement explicit consent, contractual safeguards, or local processing to avoid enforcement actions and reputational damage.
Success in the online lottery business in South Korea requires regulator-grade transparency, local or PIPA-compliant data handling, seamless retail reconciliation, certified RNG and public verification, and native mobile wallet support.

Foreign operators cannot sell lottery tickets directly to South Korean residents. However, they can operate in the country, but after partnering with a Korean-registered trustee or obtaining approvals through a designated operator framework, to legally reach Korean users and run an online lottery platform.
Online lottery software operators must adhere to some strict rules and regulations to run their platforms smoothly. They must submit issuance plans, integrate certified RNGs, comply with draw reporting, and often work with state-appointed trustees to meet regulator requirements.
In South Korea, any digital service and solution, including online lottery platforms, must store users’ personal data locally, or it must be processed under explicit consent agreements. Moreover, operators need to implement encryption, consent tracking, and PIPA-compliant safeguards for any user data leaving Korea.
Following the strict rules and regulations set by the South Korean government, operators must verify users' age, ensuring they are 19+ and that they are using official Korean ID systems or validated electronic verification methods to purchase a ticket.
With TRUEiGTECH lottery software, operators can ensure transparency through certified RNGs, immutable draw logs, and optional live or timestamped public draws. While these integrated functions help ensure transparency, they also build trust among the public as they demonstrate fairness and compliance to both players and regulators.
Online lottery operators need to build reports and submit draw results, sales summaries, payout reports, and audit-ready logs while following the format and submission requirements shared by the authorities. TRUEiGTECH’s legal team can help you prepare the reports and submit them while you can carry on growing your online lottery business in South Korea.
