Indonesia has recorded a decline in online gambling transactions in 2025, which the government attributed to tighter enforcement and more targeted intervention across digital and financial channels.
Data from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center revealed that online gambling turnover through the third quarter of 2025 reached IDR 155 trillion. That marked a 57% fall compared with figures from 2024.
Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid explained that the figures showed the impact of government measures aimed at curbing illegal gambling. “PPATK data is a highly credible indicator that our policies, ranging from monitoring and access blocking to law enforcement efforts, are effective and well targeted,” she said.
