Analisis Hukum Terhadap Aturan Perjudian Online dam Konteks Undang-Undang Perlindungan Anak

Abstract

1. Online gambling is a growing phenomenon along with the rapid development of information technology. Although all forms of gambling are prohibited in Indonesia, online gambling activities are still rampant and often difficult to monitor, especially among children and adolescents. This age group, which is in the process of forming its identity, is very sensitive to the negative impacts of online gambling, both psychologically, socially, and academically. This study aims to evaluate the existing regulations surrounding online gambling in the context of laws that protect children inIndonesia. Using a legal approach, this study examines how well the current laws limit children's access to online gambling and the obstacles faced in their implementation. The results of this study indicate that although there are efforts to regulate, including a general prohibition on gambling, there are still legal loopholes and weaknesses in law enforcement that allow children to access online gambling sites. This study provides recommendations regarding the need to strengthen regulations, increase supervision of digital platform providers, and provide education to the public about the negative impacts of online gambling on children.
