Don’t Expect to Get Debt from Pinjol If You Play Online Gambling

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Head of Public Relations for the Indonesian Joint Funding Fintech Association (AFPI) Kuseryansyah said that they had received a list of names of online gamblers from PPATK.

If these names are users of one of AFPI’s members, they are included in high-risk users.

“For fintech, we have received a list from OJK which lists the names from PPATK,” said Kus after the Declaration of the Eradication of Online Gambling at the Kominfo Office, Wednesday (28/8/2024).

If it then becomes our user, becomes a user on a platform, the platform is certainly a user who enters high risk, if they apply [for a loan] again, it’s impossible, it will definitely be rejected,” he added. On the same occasion, OJK said that it is not banks that are often the media for online gambling top-ups. OJK said that the first position is occupied by applications, then there are aggregators that promote online gambling.

Then there are payment gateways such as OVO, Dana, and others. Only then are banks used to top up online gambling.

“They save funds in banks, now the ones that are swept up in this bank are OJK. If the ones in the payment gateway are from BI,” said Deputy Commissioner for Supervision of Financial Services Business Actors’ Behavior and Consumer Protection of OJK Rizal Ramadhani.
