Online casinos are all the rage among young people in Indonesia.  Unfortunately, many of them are unaware that online casinos are illegal in their country.  The convenience of online casinos coupled with the high rate of computer literacy in the country has cause the number of online gamblers among young adults to triple in the last three years.

Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club are the only places in Singapore that permits legal gambling.  Neither of these locations offers online casinos.

Gamblers face up to six months of jail time and $5,000 in fines if charged with illegal gambling.
 
Despite the looming charges and fines, online casinos and sports betting continue to increase in popularity.  Not even denying local credit cards have stopped online gambling.  This action only allows business room for third party money handlers, as has been the case in the United States.
 
The government has attempted to scare gamblers away by warning them that gambling only leads to the loss of money.  Yet still gambling has engrossed a large portion of the culture.  Bookies and other gambling establishments are seeing an increase in business as well, online casinos are simply preferred, due to the inherent convenience.
 
Once again, in yet another country, an example is presented where the legalization and regulation of online casinos is perhaps a better alternative to policing the morality of its citizens and locking people up for spending their own money.
