This study aims to determine the efforts of the Parepare Police in combating online
gambling crimes and the factors that hinder these efforts.The research method used by the
researcher in this study is empirical legal research, in which the researcher conducted direct
interviews with two members of the Makassar Police Traffic Unit. The research findings concluded
that the efforts of the Parepare Police Department in combating online gambling crimes include
collaborating with government authorities to conduct awareness campaigns about the dangers of
online gambling through the installation of banners, posters, and video screens at specific locations
in the city of Parepare, blocking websites, and restricting access to online gambling websites, as
well as prohibiting internet service providers from selling internet packages for online gambling
activities such as domino chips. Factors hindering efforts to combat online gambling crimes in the
city of Parepare include the difficulty of tracking down bookmakers, who are generally located
overseas, limitations in technology and human resources among law enforcement officials, a lack
of specific and strict regulations, and economic motives and a consumerist lifestyle.
