Abstract

The development of information technology has encouraged the rise of online gambling practices that are increasingly difficult to control and have a negative impact on the moral, social, and economic of the community. Online gambling is a form of criminal offense that is prohibited by Indonesian law, both in the Criminal Code (KUHP), the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), and the Money Laundering Law (TPPU). Law enforcement against online gamblers includes criminal penalties in the form of imprisonment, fines, and confiscation of assets obtained from gambling proceeds. This study aims to analyze the legal basis and form of criminal responsibility for online gambling perpetrators, as well as highlight the importance of synergy between law enforcement in eradicating this digital crime. With a juridical normative approach, this study shows that the Indonesian legal system has provided a strong foundation to ensnare online gambling perpetrators as a whole, including organizers, players, and parties involved in the flow of gambling funds.
