The Indonesian Government firmly forbids transactions using Cryptocurrency one of them Bitcoin, although currently the regulations on Bitcoin are still under review. The prohibition was made because of the element of gambling in Bitcoin.

The Financial Services Authority (OJK) says that Bitcoin is like a gambling game, where the profits are uncertain. The luck factor becomes the determinant, there are times when the profit multiply and there are times when loss, it will be very loss.

To that end, the government appealed to the people of Indonesia not to use Bitcoin in transactions. " Indonesian of Bank has strictly prohibited payments using Bitcoin, as well as the Financial Services Authority.

Is gambling also prohibited in Indonesia? Don't Indonesian people play online casinos? This is my kind of hobby, I do it for fun only. I do not spend a lot of money, I keep it in the balance because I also get some income. When I visited Bali I played qqdomino.bet using VPN. So, was that illegal?
