Enforcement: How hard does the regulator enforce?

Enforcement against Indonesia's standing prohibition on online gambling intensified across financial, content and physical channels. The Otoritas Jasa Keuangan ordered banks to use customers' National Identity Numbers to trace accounts linked to flagged persons connected to online gambling, with Enhanced Due Diligence or blocking applied to 38,796 accounts; the underlying instrument has not been independently retrieved, so this finding sits at Probable confidence on corroborating secondary reporting rather than a primary circular. Komdigi's cumulative content-blocking tally reached 4.1 million items between 20 October 2024 and 28 September 2026, reflecting a sustained ministerial programme rather than a single action. The Indonesian Army separately dismantled an online gambling operation at a military housing complex in East Jakarta, arresting eleven civilians, demonstrating enforcement reach into residential and institutional settings beyond the digital and financial domains. Each of these channels operates independently of a licensing statute, consistent with the civil-law pattern in which unlicensed gambling is suppressed through a stack of administrative and criminal measures rather than through licence-breach proceedings, since no licence regime exists to breach.
