Indonesian gambling players reached 4 million in July 2024, according to PPATK data. Gambling sites always decline.
Director Tindak Pidana Siber Bareskrim Polri Brigadir Jenderal Himawan Bayu Aji says online gambling is still difficult to understand, even though one project has been completed since 2024. Because there are always new uniform resource locators (URLs) after a gambling site is closed, this business keeps growing.

Himawan also believes that offshore data management or server management reduces internet gambling. PPATK data from July 2024 shows 4 million Indonesian gamblers.
In 2023, perputaran uang tindak pidana digital will reach Rp 237 triliun. “Kasus ini makin marak dan tidak terbendung,” said Himawan.
Online gambling at H5GF777 is still being investigated by police. In this case, police assets total Rp 47 million.
Semarang-based online gambling company Firman Hertanto also needs public attention. After police raided hotel Aruss Semarang. This property is a result of internet gambling profits.
To address the growing popularity of online gambling, Himawan will continue to communicate with Komdigi. Tak-tanggung, dia ensures police don’t arrest suspects and keeps court facilities as witnesses.
Information or Commission 1 DPR also recommends creating a special group to address online gambling. Amelia Anggraini, a Komisi I Fraksi Nasdem member, presented it to the online gambling organization on January 21, 2025.
