Responsible Gambling
iGamingTR is a news site. We do not offer gambling services and do not encourage anyone to gamble. Because we report on the betting industry, we want our readers to have the facts about gambling risks and where to find help.
18+ only
Gambling is for adults only. In Türkiye, betting and games of chance are restricted to people aged 18 and over.
The legal situation in Türkiye
In Türkiye, betting and games of chance are legal only through state-authorised channels. Offering or facilitating illegal betting is a criminal offence under Law No. 7258, and illegal betting sites offer players no protection when it comes to payouts, personal data or fair play.
Gambling responsibly
- Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not as a way to make money.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
- Never chase losses or gamble with borrowed money.
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
- Take regular breaks and keep gambling in balance with the rest of your life.
Warning signs
Spending more time or money than you planned, hiding your gambling from others, borrowing to gamble, or feeling anxious when you are not gambling can all be signs of a problem.
