Laws and regulation

Turkey has a rigid model: land and online casinos are prohibited, and only state lotteries (Milli Piyango) and mutual sports betting under the IDDAA brand remain legal.

The rights are managed by the state: sports bets are supervised by Spor Toto, lotteries - according to the concession model through a private operator under the supervision of financial departments.

Regulatory practice is based on strict compliance: mandatory verification (KYC), AML requirements, age 18 +, advertising limits and sponsorship.

Access to illegal sites is blocked (ISP locks), and banks and payment providers are required to suppress transactions in favor of unlicensed operators.

Large fines and criminal liability are provided for organizing illegal activities; players face administrative fines.

The general vector is the preservation of the state monopoly and the strengthening of technological supervision.
