Sports and betting
FSM sports life is built around schools and community clubs: basketball, softball/baseball, volleyball, athletics and outrigger canoe racing are popular; state teams compete at Micronesian Games and Pacific Games.
There are no professional leagues, but inter-island tournaments and youth programs are active.
Betting and casinos are not developed: there are no licensed bookmakers, there are only charity draws.
Some users, if desired, go to foreign online sites, which carries risks - the lack of local protection, commissions and disputes outside the jurisdiction of FSM.
For players, an emphasis on responsible play; for the authorities - education and control of advertising/payments.
