On-line casino attendants” preying on celebrities

On June 16, Shion Tsurufusa (24) of the popular idol group “JO1” was arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of gambling at an online casino. In response to the disturbance, the group’s agency announced that it had imposed a 10-day voluntary suspension on Tsurufusa.

They said, “Tsurufusa began gambling online around January ’23. It is believed that he bet approximately 15 million yen and lost 7.1 million yen during the period up to the end of August 2012. He is said to have honestly admitted the charges when questioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and stated that he had a ‘light heart.

Since the beginning of this year, there has been no end to the troubles caused by celebrities using on-campus casinos. In the world of comedy, a number of comedians, especially those affiliated with Yoshimoto Kogyo, have suspended their activities over the use of online casinos, including Ruma Takahiri (30) of M-1 champion Reiwa Roman, who went on to become independent from his agency. In the world of sports, users were discovered one after another in the professional baseball world. The arrest of a well-known Fuji Television producer in late June is still fresh in our minds.

In the world of comedy, baseball, and now idols, the onkaji contamination continues to spread. Onkaji pollution continues to spread, but these celebrity busts are just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the scenes is the existence of a mysterious woman, Xko, who is known among industry insiders as the “onkaji version of Gyasi.

Many of the celebrities who have been caught in the act have responded to interrogations by saying that they were aware that there was nothing illegal about it because the commercials had been aired on video websites. It is true that at one time, commercials featuring famous athletes were aired on YouTube and other media, which undoubtedly lowered the hurdles to entry into the on-agency market.

However, there are also celebrities who become addicted to high-rate onkagis through introductions. Xko is the one who leads celebrities and athletes to the onkajis. She provides a wide range of support, from how to play onkajis to preparing an account to transfer winnings to. As a result, there is no end to the number of celebrities who play onkajji with her as a “junket (introduction agency)” that goes beyond being a mere attendant.

The “entrance to the swamp” that begins as an extension of a drinking session

What kind of person is Xko, who has introduced many famous people in the industry to Onkaji? She began frequenting black market casinos and other gambling establishments about 30 years ago, and started her on-agency junket activities around the time of the COVID-19 crisis. Ostensibly, she is a mom in her late 40s with a high-end restaurant in Minato Ward, Tokyo. Behind the scenes, however, she is said to select her targets from among the customers who visit her restaurant and call out to them.

I’ve been having some fun lately,” she says. Don’t worry if you lose, I’ll lend you some money.

Once the customer accepts such an invitation, it is the last thing they want to do. Before you know it, hundreds of thousands or even millions of yen have disappeared into your smartphone.

When an on-cash casino is caught, the information of the registered bank account is the trigger that leads to the arrest of the casino. To avoid this risk, she provides the account for the transfers from the casino, and the payments to the celebrities are made in cash, inside the private room of the restaurant. If they win, Xko will pay them a colored amount as “pocket money,” and even if they lose, she will immediately lend them money on the spot. …… The presence of such “misses” accelerates the addictive nature of the game.

T, a talented actor in his 40s, has been a gambler for about 20 years, and he and Xko were originally friends who played together in casinos overseas. He now finds himself in debt in the millions.

The names of a famous professional baseball alumnus, N, and a former manager, T, are also said to be on the list. Both of them have been gambling for 20 to 30 years, but they got into on-again, off-again gambling through Xko about 4 to 5 years ago, when the black market casinos became more and more difficult to get into. N, in particular, is said to have repeatedly lost 20-30 million yen in a single game. In addition, T has been shedding about a dozen customers from the sports world as well as playing by himself. He may be responsible for the surge of users in the sphere over the past few years.

Furthermore, K, a former national idol in his 30s, has been a “disciple” of Xko since the Corona area, and has been known to say, “Miss, I’ll take that girl next time! and has become a hub for connecting Xko with people in the entertainment industry, company presidents, and others.

Xko has been able to survive in the industry for many years because she always provides aftercare for her customers who are losing money by entertaining them at casinos in Korea and Macau, as well as at amusement casinos in Japan and other social venues. This is one of the reasons why Xko has been able to survive in the industry for so many years, and the fact that those who do not know that they have been cheated bring in new “customers.

The police should start a full-scale crackdown not only on users, but also on junkets and operators. Cracking down only on users is not enough to eliminate the problem at its root. Above all, the users must be aware of the danger. We are no longer in an era where it is acceptable to say, “I didn’t know.
