OJK orders banks to block more than 30,000 illegal gambling accounts in Indonesia
Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) said it ordered banks to block more than 30,000 accounts suspected of links to illegal online gambling between September 2023 and December 2025. PPATK data cited in the report put related transactions at 155 trillion rupiah in the third quarter of 2025, down 57% from 2024.
Banks are being directed to improve detection as illegal gambling operators use both bank accounts and alternative digital payment tools.
