Students of the Community Service Program (KKN) of the Faculty of Islamic Studies and Teacher Education (FAIPG) of Djuanda University (UNIDA) Group 16 of Warungdoyong Village held a Socialization on the Dangers of Online Gambling and Online Loans with the theme "Smart Digital Media, Avoid Gambling and Illegal Online Loans for a Bright Future." (07/30/2025)
The development of digital technology in today's era has provided easy access to a variety of information and services, including risky services such as online gambling and illegal online loans. Rural communities, particularly housewives and teenagers, are often easy targets for these digital services due to their lack of digital and financial literacy. This activity aims to provide education and a deeper understanding of the dangers of online gambling and online loans, including legal, psychological, social, and financial impacts. Through this outreach, it is hoped that the public will be wiser in using digital media and be able to avoid the pitfalls of illegal digital services.
The event took place at a resident's home in Serang Village, RT 02/RW 06, Warudoyong Village. The event began with an opening by the MC and remarks from community leaders. It was followed by a presentation by speakers Pariz Pauzi and Nurriska Aulia, who systematically explained the definition, forms, characteristics, and dangers of online gambling and illegal online loans. Following the presentation, a lively question-and-answer session was held, followed by a group photo and documentation of the event.
Encep Saepuloh as a community leader expressed his appreciationHe expressed his appreciation for the activities held by the KKN Group 16 students, which provided much-needed new education to the village community. He hopes that villagers will be more aware of the negative impacts of online gambling and online loans.
In her remarks, Ms. Nurhayati, Head of RT 02/RW 06, emphasized the importance of activities like this, as many residents still don't understand the dangers of online loan applications. She also expressed her hope that other educational activities would continue during the KKN period.
Through this outreach, it is hoped that the Warudoyong Village community will become smart, critical, and wise digital users in responding to various financial offers in the digital age. This activity is also expected to be the first step in preventing and addressing the rise in online loans (pinjol) and online money lending (judol) in rural areas.
