Turkey has intensified its crackdown on illegal online gambling networks, seizing millions of liras in assets and arresting hundreds of individuals involved in unauthorized operations. The Ministry of Interior has partnered with banks and telecom companies to block access to illegal platforms and track suspicious transactions.
Despite these efforts, the demand for online gambling remains high, fueled by limited legal options and the popularity of sports betting. Experts argue that regulating the market could help Turkey combat illegal activities and generate significant tax revenue.
For now, the government remains committed to its hardline stance, emphasizing that gambling is incompatible with the country’s cultural and moral values.
