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. Reports coming from channels such as Türkçe Dublaj Filmler and the Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü channel display a variety of sign-up promotions designed to attract new bettors.

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.

At the same time, the Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü channel reported on the marketing activity of several additional platforms. According to this report, the site 'Betci' offers a "100% welcome bonus" to new users, while highlighting casino experiences such as blackjack and roulette. Additionally, the channel notes that 'MercureCasino' operates a periodic bonus program that grants a "999 TL 50% slot bonus" on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

These are channels that operate without strict content filtering, where the advertisements focus on creating a sense of urgency and financial attraction. All of the reviewed sources serve as direct distribution platforms for access links to the gambling sites, without displaying risk warnings or regulation regarding the consequences of online gambling.
