Yes, internally, basically a domestic deposit. It doesn't have to go outside the country. Everything is deposited into the bank account in Japan. People put the money in very easily, whereas before they were using credit cards or online wallets. Even Vera & John has had a company in Japan doing that for years, well hidden. So, obviously, we see money internally from Japan, and the players don't have to wire money electronically with IBAN or SWIFT. It's like a local bank transaction.
