PKS, or the Prosperity and Justice Party, a prominent political party in Indonesia, has voiced concerns regarding the welfare of online gambling victims and how their situation may be further exploited by online gambling operators to lure them back into placing more bets.
The party, which champions Islamic values and social justice, has long been an advocate for stricter regulations on gambling activities in the country. With the rise of online gambling platforms in recent years, PKS has become increasingly vocal in their opposition to the industry, citing concerns over the societal and economic impact of gambling addiction.
Recently, PKS officials have expressed worries that online gambling victims, who have already suffered financial and emotional losses due to their addiction, may be targeted by unscrupulous operators who seek to capitalize on their vulnerabilities.
“We are deeply concerned about the welfare of those who have fallen victim to online gambling. These individuals are in a fragile state, and it is imperative that we protect them from further harm,” said Hadi Sunarno, a spokesperson for PKS.
Sunarno also highlighted the potential dangers of online gambling operators exploiting their knowledge of these victims’ behaviors and preferences to entice them back into the cycle of addiction. He warned that this could lead to a vicious cycle of debt and despair for those already struggling with gambling addiction.
In response to these concerns, PKS has called for stricter regulations on online gambling operators, including measures to prevent them from targeting vulnerable individuals and providing adequate support for those affected by gambling addiction.
“We urge the government to take decisive action to protect the welfare of online gambling victims and ensure that they receive the necessary support to recover from their addiction,” Sunarno added.
The issue of online gambling addiction has become a growing concern in Indonesia, with reports of increasing numbers of individuals seeking help for their compulsive gambling habits. PKS’s call for greater protection for these individuals is seen as a step towards addressing the social and economic impacts of gambling addiction in the country.
As the debate over online gambling continues to intensify, it is clear that PKS will continue to be a vocal advocate for the welfare of those affected by gambling addiction, pushing for stricter regulations and support systems to prevent further harm to vulnerable individuals.
