In an attempt to decrease the popularity of online betting, the Turkish National Lottery Administration will block access to internet betting sites and consider illegal any advertisement of such sites.

A committee composed of various Turkish state ministries proposed to track down people that bet online through their credit card transactions.

At the same time, Turkey\’s General Directorate of Revenues proposed to apply a 20 per cent tax to any activity related with online betting.
