Dominobet- Still the Number 1 Betting Casino in Indonesia

The Online Poker Casino Industry in Indonesia is dominated by the Dominobet Limited. Domobet is a well-known online casino offering over 45,000 slots worldwide and the biggest and most advanced slots software, game-play, and service available in the market. In spite of the fact that Dominobet Limited is one of the most recognized names in online gambling, Domobet has been facing trouble because of the Indonesian Government's recent action against online gambling services.

One of the reasons for this is that the recent government announcement for shutting down the gambling industry. Domobet claims that the closure of their business would not negatively affect them. As a result, Dominobet's number one rival and the company with the best customer service are now taking the lead in Indonesia. However, it seems like Dominobet Limited's future looks bleak.

The Jakarta Post reported that Domobet's website was censored for a while after the recent government announcement. The article read: "Domobet's website is being filtered through internet filters on computers used by Indonesian clients." The explanation for this action was given as: "It is a part of the government's plan to prevent online gambling from happening here, and to ensure the safety of gambling institutions." A few days later, Domobet's website was back up.

According to Mr. Arthur Cheng, who heads the Cybercrime department of the Indonesian National Police's Central CID, the blocking of Dominobet is a direct result of the many online gambling sites that operate on Indonesia territory. There is a strong possibility that Domobet will get blocked soon, said Cheng. He added that the best solution for Indonesians would be to get other online casinos and then they could still access online casinos in Indonesia. This is not yet clear if Dominobet Limited would be able to open its doors anytime soon.

The Tempo.com news website wrote that some citizens are concerned that if Domobet is blocked from the Internet, players from around the world will not be able to find an Indonesian Dominobet to play at their tables. On the other hand, a Domobet representative stated that the new order only applies to Domobet in Indonesia, so the majority of Dominobet users would not be affected by this order.

Aside from the poor service and other problems Domobet has faced in Indonesia, many Singaporean online casinos have also been affected. Singaporean online casinos have grown rapidly since Singapore gained access to the international banking system in the late 90s. Domobet and other online casinos in Singapore have also experienced more players than expected. The Singaporean government claims that this growth of the Singaporean online casino industry is a sign of a healthy and flourishing online gambling industry in the country.

There have been protests from residents of the neighboring countries against Domobet in Indonesia due to the closings of internet cafes and the cutting off of many phone lines and fax machines, also due to the recent court decisions on citizens' rights. The Internet and Mobile Association of Singapore (IAMAS) claimed that Domobet's recent actions have been taken based on the government's own research. They believe that Domobet is trying to escape being listed by the World Wide Web Consortium as an establishment that must be accessible by users.

The IAMAS representative explained that they have requested the Indonesian government to let them open an official website to communicate about their demands. He stressed that the country cannot have a good Internet and Mobile Industry without allowing good services for its citizens. As a result, Domobet's actions must be evaluated seriously before more public pressure is applied.
