Sports and betting

The sports life of RMI is built around schools and communities: basketball, softball/baseball, athletics and outrigger canoe races are popular; inter-island tournaments are held, teams perform at Micronesian Games and Pacific Games.

Mass sports are supported through youth programs and events on Majuro/Ebeya.

There is virtually no betting market: there are no licensed bookmakers and casinos, only rare charity draws are permissible.

Some users turn to foreign online sites, which carries risks - there is no local protection, commissions and disputes outside the jurisdiction of the RMI are possible.

A practical vector is the development of mass sports and informing about the principles of responsible play.
