<![CDATA[Advancements in information technology have transformed various societal activities, including the emergence of online gambling offenses that are increasingly complex and difficult to control. The nature of online gambling, involving electronic systems, digital transactions, and transnational networks, poses new challenges for Indonesia's law enforcement system. This study analyzes legal policy regarding the prevention and handling of online gambling offenses, evaluates the effectiveness of existing regulations, and identifies directions for legal policy reform. The research employs a normative-juridical method using statute, conceptual, and case approaches. Data were obtained through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that Indonesia has established an adequate legal foundation through the Criminal Code and Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions. However, enforcement remains hindered by overseas servers, difficult-to-trace digital transactions, low public legal awareness, and limited coordination among law enforcement agencies. Therefore, legal reform is needed through integrated criminal law policies, regulatory harmonization, stronger international cooperation, optimized digital technology, and improved public digital literacy to strengthen the effectiveness of combating online gambling offenses.]]>
