JAKARTA - There is a new mode of online gambling using mobile operator credit deposits. This new finding was revealed by the Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi based on a report from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).
Budi Arie said in the report, it was revealed that now online gamblers can use deposits through mobile operator pulses, which make the tracking process more difficult.
"(Regarding this) we will socialize it to all cellular operators," Budi Arie said in a statement quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, June 18.
The website that contains online gambling content using the credit deposit method is pafingada.org.
Regarding these findings, Budi Arie said the Ministry of Communication and Informatics would send an official letter to cellular operators so that they could play an active role in eradicating online gambling and not facilitating these activities.
"We will officially write to South Sumatra to firmly participate in eradicating online gambling and not facilitating online gambling," he said.
