progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – A youth with the initials AYA (25) was arrested by the Sub-Directorate of Violent Crimes (Jatanras) of the General Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimum) of the Polda Metro Jaya after being found guilty of committing online gambling (judol) and money laundering (TPPU). AYA was arrested because he was found guilty of creating and managing three online gambling sites.

AYA’s arrest stemmed from a cyber patrol conducted by the Operational Team of Unit 2 of the Sub-Directorate of Jatanras in early June 2026. From the investigation, police identified three online gambling websites: SPINTERUS69, RAJAPLAY303, and BIGROYAL99. These three sites offer a variety of gambling games, including slots, live casino, sports betting (sportsbook), fish shooting, and poker. Players are required to deposit their bets via bank transfer and QRIS scanning.

Based on these findings, the Unit 2 Team from the PMJ Sub-Directorate of Jatanras immediately moved swiftly on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, to investigate and hunt down the bookie. The following day, on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at approximately 10:00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), the Jatanras team raided a house in the PAI Complex, Rangas Kapuas Village, Sungai Kakap District, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan.

It was at this location that AYA, the mastermind behind the three online gambling sites, was arrested.

“We apprehended the perpetrator, AYA, along with several pieces of evidence. He was immediately taken to the Polda Metro Jaya’s Jatanras Sub-Directorate for further investigation and investigation,” explained the Head of the Polda Metro Jaya’s Jatanras Sub-Directorate, AKBP Abdul Rahim, on Friday, June 12, 2026.

Based on the initial interrogation, suspect AYA was known to have started his online gambling business independently. He consciously learned how to create and manage online gambling application systems through Telegram groups.

After understanding the operational loopholes, AYA then illegally purchased the gambling application engine from the black market.

Head of Unit 2 of the Polda Metro Jaya’s Jatanras Unit, AKP Reza Arif Hadafi added, that AYA’s modus operandi was quite sophisticated. He designed the server himself and then purchased the web domain so that his site could be widely accessed.

AYA also proved adept at automatically integrating payment gateways (bank accounts and QRIS) into his website. He took this step to facilitate the players’ deposit and withdrawal transactions.

“All of the players’ losses went into a holding account managed directly by the suspect. The suspect then periodically transferred the online gambling winnings to his personal account,” said AKP Reza Arif.

A number of items used to operate the gambling site were confiscated from suspect AYA, including a cell phone and an ATM card.

For his crimes, investigators have charged him under Article 426 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 607 of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning Gambling and/or Money Laundering (TPPU).
