Indonesian police report investigation into gambling promotion by SMS

The official update

An Indonesian National Police update dated 25 October describes an investigation into alleged online gambling promotion in Makassar. It says three suspects were arrested in September and that police seized 11 modem pools. The publication date is not the date of the arrests.

Messages and alleged payments

Police alleged that promotional messages containing gambling links were sent to around 2,000 to 3,000 numbers daily. The update attributes an estimated IDR1.3 billion in proceeds to the activity and describes suspected overseas connections. These are investigative claims, not court findings.

Separate jurisdictions

This case concerns Indonesian enforcement. It does not establish Malaysian operator eligibility or permission to promote gambling in Malaysia, and it should not be used as evidence about any partner listed by World’s Best Casino.
