No Online Casinos for Indonesia

The Indonesian authorities are really cracking down on the possibility of online casino betting in the country as the illustrious World Cup excitement really begins to pick up. The World Cup games are the biggest sporting event of the year and they inspire a flurry of betting in the weeks leading up to the World Cup matches, as well as the event themselves. But online casino betting is illegal throughout Indonesia and the Indonesian authorities have announced an increased surveillance over all of the internet activity in the country – especially those social media sites and other sites that make internet betting possibly easier to circumvent the blocks and bans in the country. The warnings are pretty strong right now and it just isn’t a good idea for Indonesian gamblers to risk the government’s special police monitors.

Facebook is of particular interest to the Indonesian authorities right now because of the link that Facebook has with the online casinos and betting industry. Although all of the Facebook apps concerning internet betting and gambling are play money only, the Indonesian authorities are watching closely to ensure that none of these games are being used as a cover for legitimate betting activity.

The police are quite active and not ineffective – the high profile arrest of one Indonesian citizen earlier this month indicates that they are really concerned about putting a stop to the illegal online casinos. The arrested individual is charged with illegally operating two lucrative internet gambling sites specifically for the Indonesian market.
