Indonesia’s Online Gambling Deposits Reach Over US$1 Billion in 2025

Indonesia’s digital gambling market has continued to grow despite ongoing enforcement efforts, with online gambling deposits reaching approximately USD 1.04 billion in the first half of 2025, according to data released by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs (“Komdigi”). This figure highlights the persistent scale of unregulated online betting activity in the country, as authorities battle against a booming underground market.

Komdigi officials reported that even as millions of gambling-related domains and content pieces have been blocked, new sites frequently emerge, making regulation increasingly challenging. The deposits signal a thriving demand for online betting services, which operate outside Indonesia’s strict legal framework that outlaws most forms of remote gambling.

The rise in deposits has prompted authorities to emphasize more comprehensive strategies combining domain shutdowns, collaborative cyber patrols, and financial tracking in attempts to disrupt the flow of illicit gambling funds.
