It is undeniable that some time ago many artists or influencers promoted online gambling. However, when it was processed, it was revealed that the promotional action was carried out for a long time.
In fact, the online gambling sites that were promoted were no longer active. Thus, the criminal element is not fulfilled to continue processing it.
"Indeed, sometimes like this, there are those that appear now but actually old products. There were some time ago, there were several artists who he really talked about but that was the year when he was covid. Now when we check again, the site is no longer there," Wahyu said.
