TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) reported that the total value of online gambling deposits in Indonesia in 2025 amounted to Rp36 trillion. This figure decreased from the total of Rp51 trillion in 2024.
Deputy of Analysis and Examination at PPATK, Danang Tri Hartono, stated that there is an increasing trend in deposits using QRIS. The QRIS service became the largest online gambling deposit channel throughout 2025.
"There has been a shift in deposits, which were previously mainly through bank accounts or e-wallets, and now many deposits are made using QRIS," Danang said at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Building on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
According to Danang, transactions using QRIS are much faster in transferring funds from one account to another. He mentioned that the deposit funds are then transferred to crypto.
Moreover, Danang mentioned that online gambling operators have now separated the accounts for deposits and withdrawals using crypto. "Now there is a separation between accounts and withdrawals through crypto. This complicates the tracing process conducted by PPATK and the future investigators," he said.
