Online Judi Transaction Potential Called Capai Rp 1,000 Trillion In 2026
KEDIRI - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR Ahmad Sahroni said the potential for online gambling transactions reached an astonishing number of IDR 1,000 trillion in 2026. In 2024 alone, online gambling transactions have reached IDR 400 trillion.
The potential for online gambling transactions is known to Sahroni from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), an institution tasked with preventing and eradicating money laundering (TPPU) in Indonesia.
He hopes that the National Police Headquarters and PPATK will take firm action against online gamblers to reduce the number of transactions.
"In 2026 the vision target from PPATK can reach Rp. 1,000 trillion, but hopefully if this is eradicated it will not be like that," said Sahroni, after filling in the seminar and talk show material in Kediri City, East Java, last Sunday.
Sahroni said the need for the National Police and PPATK to focus on eradicating online gambling according to President Prabowo Subianto's direction. President Prabowo has instructed that the eradication of online gambling be carried out thoroughly.
According to him, it will take the next year until 2026 to see if the performance is authorized to really eradicate online gambling. "We'll see in the next year," he explained.
