Indonesia.- The Indonesian government is working on a new online gambling framework, with a focus on mitigation and youth protection. The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs has said that the Government Regulation on Online Gambling Eradication will include stricter obligations for internet service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antara News reported that the director for certification and electronic transaction supervision at the ministry, Teguh Arifiyadi, said during a press conference that the legislation will define the role of various institutions, including law enforcement agencies, in handling online gambling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulation will also cover parties that are involved, directly or indirectly, in enabling online gambling, including digital platforms and financial technology providers. \u201cThe sanction will be even heavier, and all will be regulated in the government regulation,\u201d said Arifiyadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulation will also include child protection provisions. Arifiyadi said young people were gambling due to a lack of effective age checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
