<![CDATA[This article analyzes the legal construction of money laundering from gambling in the perspective of the National Criminal Code and the criminal policies built against these economic crimes. The purpose of this study is to examine the synchronization of norms between the National Criminal Code and the Money Laundering Law, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of its criminal policies. The research uses normative legal methods with a statutory and conceptual approach, sourced from primary legal materials in the form of two main regulations and secondary legal materials in the form of previous scientific journals. The results of the study show that gambling has been explicitly categorized as a predicate crime in both regulations, so that the existing norms are textually harmonious. However, the effectiveness of its enforcement is still constrained because criminal policies tend to be reactive, oriented towards penal strategies only, and have not yet reached new modus operandi and transnational character of this crime. The research recommends strengthening integrative criminal policies, combining penal and non-penal strategies, accompanied by strengthening cross-border legal cooperation so that the prevention of money laundering from gambling can be more responsive to the dynamics of digital-based economic crimes in Indonesia.]]>
