JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs closed 2,458,934 online gambling sites and content (judol) based on data collected from October 20 to November 2, 2025.
From October 20 to November 2, 2025, the total number of sites and content we have handled has reached 2,458,934. Most of them are in the form of sites, but there is also content in file sharing. Although not all of them are charged with gambling, we still need to handle it," said the Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Meutya Hafid, at a press conference in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, November 6.
Meutya mengungkapkan, saat ini terdapat lebih dari 123,000 konten file sharing terkait judi online di berbagai platform media sosial. Rinciannya, Meta lebih dari 106,000 konten, Google dan YouTube lebih dari 41.000, X (Twitter) lebih dari 18,600, Telegram 1.942, TikTok 1.138, LINE 14, dan App Store tiga konten.
He emphasized that although online gambling transactions throughout 2025 were recorded to have decreased, cross-institutional collaboration must still be strengthened. Based on the report from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), the value of this year's judol transactions reached IDR 155 trillion, down 57 percent compared to 2024 which reached IDR 359 trillion.
"We understand that it is not only access that needs to be cut off, but also accounts that become the neck of criminal activities in cyberspace," said Meutya.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital has also reported 23,604 accounts affiliated with online gambling activities to PPATK to be handled immediately.
In addition to blocking sites and accounts, Meutya emphasized the importance of international cooperation to eradicate cross-border cybercrime.
"Mr. President (Prabowo) in the APEC forum has emphasized that online gambling is a crime organized across countries. Therefore, we must cooperate with international partners so that this eradication can be carried out thoroughly," he said.
