The development of information technology has led to an increase in online gambling crimes, a form of cybercrime that impacts social order and public morals. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and analyze current law enforcement regulations regarding online gambling crimes. To identify and analyze the weaknesses in current law enforcement regarding online gambling crimes. To identify and analyze the harmonization of law enforcement regulations regarding online gambling crimes based on the value of justice. This thesis is of the normative juridical type, using the method of statutory approach, cases, conceptual research specifications are descriptive analysis, secondary data sources are taken from primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, tertiary legal materials, data collection methods through literature studies and analysis techniques using qualitative. The research findings indicate that law enforcement against online gambling operators in Indonesia still faces fundamental problems, particularly the disharmony between the New Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law), which positions online gambling primarily as an issue of electronic content rather than as an economic and organized criminal offense. As a result, law enforcement tends to be formalistic and has not addressed the structural roots of the crime, thereby reinforcing the classic criticism that the national criminal justice system remains "sharp downward but blunt upward.".There are weaknesses in the substance of the law, as the existing regulations do not specifically regulate online gambling. Therefore, a more specific regulatory framework governing online gambling is necessary to accommodate technological developments and the increasingly complex modus operandi of online gambling perpetrators. There are also weaknesses in the legal structure, particularly the limited capacity of law enforcement officers to understand cybercrime and digital technology. One possible solution is to develop training programs and curricula that are relevant to the latest technological developments. Furthermore, weaknesses in legal culture remain evident, as public awareness of the prohibition of online gambling is still relatively low. This can be addressed through education and large-scale campaigns on the dangers of online gambling. Public awareness initiatives through seminars and social media should be strengthened to increase legal awareness within society. It is therefore necessary to reformulate or reconstruct the elements of the criminal offense of online gambling under Articles 426 and 427 of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP), so that online gambling is no longer left in a state of legal uncertainty and no legal vacuum arises following the repeal of Article 45 paragraph (3) of the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law).
