Indonesia’s OJK blocks 29,906 bank accounts linked to online casinos

Enforcement & compliance

Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority had blocked 29,906 bank accounts linked to online casinos, the regulator’s banking supervision chief said at a 7 November press conference. The total was 2,511 higher than the figure released the previous month, as the OJK described the account blocks as part of the government’s campaign against online gambling.

The account blocks show how Indonesia’s anti-gambling campaign is affecting banking transactions linked to online casinos.
