For some people and countries, gambling is legal. But, for Indonesia, gambling or betting is illegal. Why, there are many things that are the basis for Indonesia to make these rules. What are they?
First, it has been included in the country's regulations. If I'm not mistaken, it is included in the Law. Where gambling is illegal in Indonesia. Another thing is that Indonesia is a country with a Muslim majority. Where there are many things that are rules adopted from Muslim rules.
In the hadith or the Koran, there are those that discuss that gambling or betting is haram. Especially those that use money. What if the bet does not use money? Well, I need to discuss it further. I need to read some Islamic literature about it.
I want to tell you more about online gambling, where it has become something that is widely discussed by Indonesian society. In the past three months, this case has been rampant in Indonesia. Why? Because it caused one family to die. The head of the household was caught in online gambling, then debt and ended very tragically, namely one family died.
From this case, online gambling became something that the Indonesian government focused on. Starting from eradication, rehabilitation of perpetrators to handling online gambling perpetrators. Currently, the Indonesian government is actively looking for the source of the creation of online gambling sites. He said, the headquarters is in the Philippines.
Rehabilitation for perpetrators is carried out with a psychological, religious and other approaches. So that the perpetrators can be aware of the impact of gambling. The most tragic thing is that the death rate due to online gambling has increased greatly. I think this is due to the domino effect of Covid-19.
Where mass work stops, no assistance and others. This makes people enter online gambling. In a short time, you can make quite a lot of money. Winning once, makes people's hopes even higher to improve their lives during the pandemic. This is ironic.
Will gambling be legalized in Indonesia? It seems not. Indonesia has made rules where there are many problems that arise due to gambling or betting. So, it seems that gambling will remain legal. In the rules of the law, what is emphasized is that the perpetrators also get punished. That's the only story this time. See you
