JAKARTA - Some 2.7 million Indonesians gamble online regularly, recording roughly 327 trillion rupiah in fund circulation in 2023, with a worried government trying to eradicate the vice by calling it a scam.
The Indonesian government is now seeking Interpol assistance and is keen to discuss with the authorities of its two Asean neighbours to help shut down the online sites. But the government wants to educate people against the vice, besides using legal means to stop or punish them. “At first, I only wanted to try it out with 1.5 million rupiah and managed to win a total of 31 million rupiah. This was the start of me getting trapped,” Mr Nofrianto, who uses only one name, told Jakarta-based news portal Okezone.com in October 2023.
But the OJK has the authority to order any bank to suspend or block a bank account being used for crime. In the last three months of 2023, it ordered private banks to block 4,000 accounts implicated in online gambling.
