Indonesia continues to face challenges in combating illegal online gambling networks, which have proliferated despite strict enforcement measures. The government has blocked thousands of websites and arrested hundreds of individuals involved in illegal operations, but the problem persists.

    The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology has partnered with tech companies to develop advanced tools for detecting and blocking illegal platforms. However, operators frequently adapt by using new domains and encryption methods.

    Some experts believe that a regulated online gambling market could help Indonesia address these challenges, but gambling remains a taboo subject in the country’s predominantly Muslim society. For now, authorities are focusing on public awareness campaigns and stricter penalties.
