Advances in communication technology and social media, particularly Instagram, have created opportunities for the misuse of digital platforms to promote online gambling via the Direct Message (DM) feature. The private nature of this communication and the dynamic nature of digital data make the identification and verification processes more complex, necessitating a systematic digital forensic approach. This study aims to analyze the process of collecting and examining digital evidence in cases involving online gambling promotion on Instagram, using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) method, which comprises the stages of collection, examination, analysis, and reporting. The data acquisition process was conducted from mobile devices using the tools MOBILedit Forensic Express, Magnet AXIOM, and Hash My Files. The study identified 30 message artifacts and 10 image files related to online gambling promotional activities. The verification process, which utilized MD5 and SHA-256 hash values, demonstrated that the data had not been altered, thereby ensuring its integrity. These findings indicate that the NIST methodology, when combined with several digital forensic tools, is capable of producing valid and reliable digital evidence.
