How Can We Play Lottery in Indonesia
How Can We Play Lottery in Indonesia

Because most Indonesians are Muslims and the country is relatively pious, Indonesian
gambling regulations prohibit residents from participating in any local lottery games. There
used to be an official legal lottery game run by the Indonesian government played by
millions of Indonesians every week. Still, it raised many questions and problems because of
religious issues, and ultra-religious people in the government and state pushed new
legislation that eventually banned it.
The proponents of the prohibition claimed that
impoverished people spent too much money on lottery tickets. However, this claim was not
supported by data or data and was merely used as an excuse to outlaw the lottery game. In
Indonesia, most people live comfortably, and even the impoverished have opportunities to
earn money and create a living if they so desire. Even though the lottery is not their only
means of improving their quality of life and simply buying tickets for pleasure once in a
while, hyper-religious individuals could have the local lotto game banned.
Some
people who wished to stop the lottery game claimed that it should be prevented since all of
the money and income from the lottery went to the president of Indonesia at the time.
However, it was most likely based on rumours and excuses rather than facts. In Indonesia,
there are gangs and mafioso groups that offer illicit gambling parties where the house
always wins since the games are not played honestly. However, natives in Indonesia rarely
fall for such ruses, and most of the victims of these gangs are tourists.
