This objective was previously set by President Erdo\u011fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Candan held meetings with senior MASAK officials, presenting data on <strong>239,000 domains<\/strong> that violate Turkish gambling legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are facing a borderless threat that attacks our youth, our economy, and the integrity of our society,\u201d Candan told reporters. \u201cThis is not just an issue of gambling; it is an issue of national security\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move follows the publication of <strong>Erdo\u011fan\u2019s<\/strong> 2025\/26 Action Plan to combat illegal betting, games of chance and online gambling. The plan mobilises the entire state apparatus under Erdo\u011fan\u2019s direct oversight, with MASAK acting as the central coordinator between ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MASAK\u2019s initial reports show tangible results of the new strategy. Since May, authorities have blocked <strong>10,519 gaming servers and 1,473 advertising sites<\/strong>, and stopped financial flows amounting to <strong>\u20ba2.2bn (\u20ac66m)<\/strong> in 2024 and <strong>\u20ba3.6bn (\u20ac100m)<\/strong> since the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit has identified offshore hosting networks in Malta, North Macedonia and Georgia. Ankara has warned of \u201cstrict measures\u201d against jurisdictions or companies that facilitate black-market gambling for Turkish players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The action plan allocates responsibilities among key ministries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ministry of Interior<\/strong> \u2013 oversight of cybercrime units<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Information &amp; Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA\/BTK)<\/strong> \u2013 blocking digital platforms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ministry of Treasury and Finance<\/strong> \u2013 tightening financial and AML controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ministry of Justice<\/strong> \u2013 prioritising prosecution of cases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Directorate of Communications<\/strong> \u2013 monitoring influencers and advertising content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit has also identified offshore hosting networks traced to <strong>Malta, North Macedonia, and Georgia<\/strong>, prompting Ankara to warn that \u201caggressive measures\u201d will be taken against jurisdictions or entities enabling Turkish-facing black-market gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The action plan assigns specific enforcement roles across key ministries \u2014 the Interior Ministry overseeing cybercrime units, the BTK blocking digital platforms, the Treasury and Finance Ministry tightening payment and AML controls, the Justice Ministry prioritising prosecutions, and the Directorate of Communications policing influencer and promotional content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Masak statement on the Action Plan: \u201cTools such as social media, payment infrastructures, and crypto assets have made access to these activities easier, giving the problem a cross-border dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation makes it necessary to constantly improve detection, intervention, and monitoring capacity, and to adopt innovative measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this struggle is already being conducted in a multifaceted manner, the level of technological and financial sophistication and its international dimension make it essential to strengthen the legal and administrative infrastructure against illicit websites\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month Erdo\u011fan declared that \u201cillegal gambling undermines our families, our youth, and our social fabric. It weakens the economy, empowers criminals, and will be eradicated by any means necessary.\u201d The president added that \u201cprogress must be visible in 2026 &#8211; the Turkish state cannot allow this menace to exist any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Candan reiterated MP\u0130\u2019s commitment to the president\u2019s vision, highlighting the institution\u2019s dual role as regulator and licensor of Turkey\u2019s National Lottery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cOur responsibility extends beyond prize draws,&nbsp; we must defend the state\u2019s lawful assets and ensure that the lottery, operated through Sisal \u015eans, continues to serve the public interest,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPresident Erdo\u011fan\u2019s mandate is clear: we will not only suppress illegal gambling, but we will build a stronger, more transparent system that protects our citizens and strengthens public trust in our national institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mill\u00ee Piyango \u0130daresi remains an agency of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, serving as the regulatory and supervisory authority for all national lottery operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, its operating rights were transferred for 10 years to <strong>Sisal \u015eans<\/strong>, a joint venture between Flutter Entertainment-owned <strong>Sisal<\/strong> (Italy) and <strong>Demir\u00f6ren Holding<\/strong> (Turkey), under a public\u2013private partnership model that ensures state oversight of all commercial gaming activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the 2025-2026 plan now in full motion, Erdo\u011fan\u2019s campaign marks one of the most comprehensive enforcement drives in Turkey\u2019s modern era &#8211; merging financial intelligence, digital surveillance, and inter-ministerial coordination to restore control over the nation\u2019s online gambling landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman and General Manager of Milli Piyango \u0130daresi (MP\u0130) \u2013 Turkey\u2019s National Lottery Office, Ekrem Candan, has presented a dossier containing \u201c420,000 criminal complaints filed against websites promoting illegal gambling activities\u201d.
