Online gambling in Indonesia
Gambling in all forms is forbidden in Indonesia, and while no online gambling specific legislation exists, the official line is that remote gambling, by virtue of general gambling prohibitions is also illegal. The judicial interpretation of this view is yet to be tested however it is likely that the courts would tow the government line as Indonesia arguably doesn’t enjoy the same degree of separation of legislative and judiciary powers as most Western countries.
In September 2009 the Aceh Provincial House of Representatives introduced new penalties for a range of forbidden acts including alcohol consumption, gambling, intimacy between unmarried couples, adultery and fornication, and homosexuality. Penalties under the Aceh’s Islamic Criminal Code included stoning to death for adultery and caning of up to 100 lashes for gambling or adultery. The laws have been condemned by Amnesty International as unacceptably cruel and there have been calls for them to be changed from both Amnesty and elements within the different levels of Indonesian government.
While the position in Aceh is not replicated across Indonesia, a similar hard line stance is taken.
