Turkish Online Casinos

As a Muslim country, Turkey is considered to have a reasonably liberal approach to gambling, although its policies are not constant, and change according to pressures put on the government by religious parties. While many laws have been passed that govern gambling and Turkish online casinos, they are not very effective and therefore gambling in many forms is still widely available.

Gambling in Turkey

Ten years ago, Turkey boasted over 80 casinos, and was a magnet for tourists who wanted to combine the good weather and quality gambling entertainment.  Today, however, there are no more casinos, due to constant changes in the country's gambling legislation that governs Turkish casinos.

The lottery still remains the most popular form of gambling in Turkey, and the sports lottery generates $1.5 billion each year in this lucrative industry.  Mounting pressure is being put on the current government to tighten gambling laws, and Turks are having a harder time finding casinos and gambling options.

Online Gambling in Turkey

The Turkish government owned IDDAA provides online sports betting in the country, and is the only group licensed to do so.  While the state has passed laws that make it difficult for Turks to gamble online, they still find many ways to do so, especially at the over 150 Turkish online casinos that support game play in Turkish and accept wagers in US Dollars.  Alternative payment methods regularly used by Turkish online gamblers and supported by these sites are ECO Card and Click2Pay.
