The current criminal law in Indonesia is a criminal law that has been codified, that is, most of it
and its rules have been compiled in a wetboek, called the Criminal Code, according to a particular system.
Basically, criminal law does focus on regulating the problem of crimes that occur in the community. If the
Constitutional Court is often referred to as The Guardian Of Constitutution, then the criminal law in
relation to crime deserves to be called The Guardian Of Security which seeks to guarantee that the people
are not victims of crime.

Criminal Code does not clearly explain the prize of the game / race which can be categorized as a crime of
gambling, whether it is only money or can be replaced with other prizes.
