The Ministry of Trade's Advertising Board issued administrative fines totalling TRY 49.8 million (approximately EUR 1 million) against digital-platform gambling advertising this window, a fragile administrative-decision-level measure probably reflecting the wider Action Plan crackdown.

A draft bill is in drafting or finalising stage that would extend Turkey's existing alcohol and tobacco-style broadcast advertising restrictions to betting and gambling nationwide.
