Is online Gambling legal in Indonesia?

Being a really profitable GEO for affiliate marketing, not many marketers understand the laws of online Gambling in indonesia.

All in all, no form of Gambling is allowed in Indonesia. Though the activity is illegal, due to the huge number of provinces (there are 36 of them), it’s hard to impose strict measures on players, especially taking into account that the law is about Internet-based activity, which is difficult to track.

There’s no real strict control on players, many gamblers come from the GEO and play without any issues each year. No severe punishment cases can be found on the Internet, so we can make a conclusion that the government is not interested in penalizing players or banning the activity so badly.

The only thing obvious is that the government is not going to license the online casino sites in Indonesia either. The government tries to ban online casino sites on ISP level, yet many offshore platforms successfully operate and can be easily reached.

In conclusion, the laws are quite easy to overcome, yet not many platforms can guarantee the players protection and provide local payment types. Make sure you check the most reliable platforms in the article, stay tuned!

Same as Gambling activities in Indonesia, Gambling ads are prohibited, yet the laws are quite vague, providing affiliates with many opportunities to overcome the legal system.
