<![CDATA[Digital technology provides substantial benefits while simultaneously increasing children’s exposure to online gambling through internet access, social media, online games, and gambling promotions, compounded by limited digital literacy and inadequate parental supervision. This study aims to examine child protection from online gambling exposure from legal and Pancasila perspectives and to identify appropriate prevention strategies. This qualitative study employs a literature review approach based on 12 scholarly sources published between 2018 and 2026. The literature was analyzed descriptively and critically, focusing on child protection, online gambling, digital literacy, legal protection, character education, and Pancasila. The findings indicate that children’s vulnerability is influenced not only by technological accessibility but also by limited digital literacy, inadequate family supervision, insufficient content control, and gaps in policy implementation. Legal protection should position children primarily as subjects requiring protection, with emphasis on rehabilitation and restorative justice. The Pancasila perspective reinforces child protection through the principles of humanity, social responsibility, education, and justice. This study contributes by integrating legal protection, digital literacy, character education, family involvement, digital platform responsibility, and Pancasila values as a foundation for preventive and rehabilitative child protection policies aimed at establishing a safe digital environment for children.]]>
