Raiding the Internet Cafes

Gambling in Jakarta has become a very real problem according to local police – and sadly a problem that the police department has a very hard time tracking because of a lack of man power and a lack of the skill base to monitor internet based issues. Online casino gambling and betting is illegal in the region and yet gamblers are able to often use internet cafes as a way to access the gambling sites. The latest coup for the local police was a bust of four individuals allegedly providing gamblers access to online casinos through an internet café. The police arrested four individuals implicated in the gambling bust – the police noted though that the mastermind of the operation remains free and they are searching for him.

What’s really unfortunate for the four arrested is the fact that the Jakarta police openly admit that they lack the manpower and equipment to really successfully track down those operators offering online casino gambling in the city. At the same time, this latest bust was seemingly successful. At the end of December, the police raided the internet café, confiscated a small amount of money (roughly US $454), a flash drive, and two computers. The police have not yet analyzed the computers but if the information on the computers implicates the four suspects in illegal online casino gambling activities, each person could face as long as five years in prison.

Online casino gambling is a serious crime and although the police department lacks the resources to effectively track down all of the illegal operators and sportsbettors, they are still working on the situation – a fact that should serve as a message of warning to anyone considering opening such an operation…the consequences are awfully steep.
