Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of investigating and prosecuting online gambling crimes under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (EIT Law), as well as to examine the role of digital forensics in evidence gathering from both technical and legal perspectives. This study employs a normative-empirical legal method using legislative, conceptual, case-based, and sociological-legal approaches. Data was obtained through a literature review of legislation, journals, books, and other legal materials, and supplemented with field data regarding law enforcement practices. The research findings indicate that the investigative and prosecutorial processes for online gambling cases fundamentally have a sufficient legal foundation; however, in practice, they still face various obstacles, such as the anonymity of perpetrators, the use of foreign servers, difficulties in digital evidence collection, and limitations in the resources and technical capabilities of law enforcement officials.
