Research by the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), processed by the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), shows that the majority of online gambling players, or "judol", in Indonesia are from the productive age group.
55.44% of the total registered players are aged 30-50 years old. Another 37.6% are aged 21-30 years old.
"Judol attracts widespread participation from the productive age group, with an increasing trend among young people," wrote KIC in its report, quoted on Monday (August 11, 2025).
There are also 5.72% of players who are over 50 years old. The smallest and youngest proportion is 1.67% aged 10-20 years old.
"The participation of players under 20 years old shows that judol has also spread widely among young students, a worrying trend considering this generation should be the driving force of national progress," wrote KIC.
KIC observes that the modus operandi of judol is becoming increasingly sophisticated. The activity is packaged and offered like an online game. This is its appeal. KIC even mentions that many people playing these games often don't realize they are playing judol.
These games usually contain hidden gambling features. For example, betting features, jackpots, or points that can be exchanged for real money.
