Pertanggung Jawaban Hukum Terhadap Pelaku Tindak Pidana Judi Online Di Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines the legal liability of perpetrators of online
gambling crimes in Indonesia, in line with the rapid development of
information technology that has given rise to new forms of crime,
including gambling via the internet. Online gambling has become a
worrying phenomenon because it is easily accessible, addictive, and
has a negative impact on the morals and social life of society. This
study aims to identify the legal elements in online gambling crimes
and analyze how law enforcement is carried out against perpetrators
of these crimes in Indonesia. This study uses a normative juridical
method with a statutory approach and case studies. The results of the
study indicate that criminal liability for perpetrators of online gambling
can be imposed based on Article 303 of the Criminal Code and Article
27 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (2) of the
ITE Law. However, there are still obstacles in the implementation of
the law, especially related to effective supervision and action by law
enforcement officials. This study recommends strengthening
regulations and increasing the capacity of law enforcement officials in
dealing with cybercrime, including online gambling. It is hoped that
the results of this study can contribute to the development of criminal
law, especially in the aspect of combating information technologybased
crimes.
