This paper presents the current state of Internet gambling and discusses its psychological tasks and issues. First of all, the definition, history, and domestic and overseas situations of Internet gambling are introduced. Next, the paper presents the characteristics of Internet gambling in cyberspace, which are different from general land-based gambling.

Based on these findings, the paper suggests the challenges that psychology should address so as to constructively deal with the problems of Internet gambling, and discusses related issues. Finally, the future tasks of Internet gambling in Korea are suggested.
