The rule in Turkey

Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments

Betting in Turkey is a state monopoly run through Iddaa and Spor Toto, and every private or offshore real-money site is illegal, so the gray market is served from offshore. The crackdown that began in 2025 put the e-wallet Papara under state trusteeship, and the e-money license it lost in October 2025 was restored in January 2026. The central bank imposed daily transaction caps, MASAK opened investigations and banks warned customers against lending out their accounts. No provider acquires directly for offshore operators, and deposits move through P2P transfers and collector-account aggregators.
