Indonesia
Prohibited Komdigi (Ministry of Communication and Digital) / Law Enforcement
Indonesia prohibits online gambling rather than licensing commercial operators. Komdigi’s legal review identifies the Penal Code, Law No. 7 of 1974 on Gambling Control and electronic-information legislation as parts of the prohibition framework. Enforcement remains active: in May 2026 Komdigi blocked Polymarket and stated that money-based wagering on uncertain events remains online gambling even when presented as a prediction market using blockchain or crypto-assets.
