One week after the establishment of the Online Gambling Eradication Task Force on June 14, 2024, the Indonesian National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency announced the uncovering of 318 cases of online gambling and the arrest of 464 suspects. Three significant cases handled were related to three online gambling sites: 1xbet, w88, and ligaciputra, with a turnover of up to IDR 1.41 trillion., the online gambling site is controlled from abroad. Likewise, the server location is abroad.
The PPATK report stated that out of 3.2 million people in Indonesia who play online gambling, around 80 percent of them gamble with a value below Rp 100,000. Meanwhile, only a small portion of online gambling transactions use international payment facilities, such as credit cards or Paypal. However, even though the closure of accounts can hinder online gambling operations, it will not necessarily completely stop them from operating. Therefore, the closure of accounts is also accompanied by improvements upstream, namely tightening account opening procedures and ensuring that existing accounts match correct data.Because, according to Ruby, from several attempts she has made, bank accounts, especially virtual accounts in digital banks, can be easily created even when using fake data.
Yenti is worried that the Online Gambling Eradication Task Force will end up like the Anti-Money Laundering Task Force which is considered to have no results."Whether we like it or not, the question is, who benefits from not investigating? Why is it like protecting someone? Why does this country seem to only play around in forming task forces?" she said.Similar views were expressed by the Coordinator of Indonesia Police Watch, Sugeng Teguh Santoso.
