He paid dearly for the risk he took.

Kento Momota is a young player who has already proven his skills in badminton. The Japanese player is currently ranked second among the world’s professional players. However, very recently he had the very bad idea of ​​going to play with his teammate Kenchi Tago, in an underground casino in Japan . The police did a decent job and arrested the two young men.

Both belonged to the same club, it is NTT East Corp. Yet Momota is currently world No. 2 in the discipline. He’s already a real celebrity. He is the first Japanese player to achieve victory during the Master Final. This is a tournament that takes place in Dubai, where the best players in the world compete against each other.

Kento also has its place in Japanese badminton. He has won singapore betting online title of champion of Japan six times. He also participated in the London 2012 Olympics. For him the situation is more serious, earning him an exclusion. Momota immediately apologized to the press. He said he was deeply sorry for betraying everyone in such a way. He claimed to be confused. Kento made a statement, while crying.

He made a point of mentioning that he is at the origin of this scandal, because it is he who led his friend in this very risky adventure. He asked for an apology and insisted on sparing his friend by saying “All I want is to give him another chance”. In his statement, Momota claimed that he gradually became addicted to games. He says he rubbed shoulders for both games, in another country where casino games are legal. He pointed out that the thrill of the game started to get stronger and stronger.

According to the Japanese press, Momota has already played between 2014 and 2015. He played 6 times between October and January. Not being as good as badminton, he suffered a loss of $ 4,600. For Tago the love of gambling is more complex and has already started to become an addiction. In fact, still over the same period, he spent $ 90,000.

It should be noted that casinos are still banned in Japan despite an already announced vote which has been postponed several times. It must be said that observers are very pessimistic about casinos. There is a good chance that the first establishments will not be able to open in 2020, during the Summer Olympics.
