(AA)
In a coordinated crackdown by the Interior Ministry against illegal online betting, authorities have blocked more than 47,000 websites this year.
According to information obtained by Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency from the ministry sources, illegal online betting activities on the internet and social media platforms are being monitored through “cyber patrol” operations conducted 24/7 by the cybercrime units of the police department and the gendarmerie.
Cyber teams are using technological capabilities to investigate illegal betting sites, accounts promoting these sites, and digital traces linked to their payment systems.
