During the day (June 15, 2026), an active trend of aggressive advertising was identified on the part of online gambling and casino sites using various Telegram channels to distribute offers for financial bonuses.

According to Türkçe Dublaj Filmler, a site called 'Hotbahis' is currently offering "10,000 TL up to 300% bonus" as an opening package, alongside a "500 TL trial bonus". The same channel also reported on a promotion at 'Maça Casino' which promises a "100% bonus up to 5000 TL" for those who deposit a minimum of 100 TL in this message.
