[67427] Wave of gambling site advertisements and sponsored content on Turkish Telegram channels

The spread of promotional content on Telegram channels in Turkey

Over the past 24 hours, extensive activity promoting gambling sites and sports platforms has been observed on popular Turkish Telegram channels. The trend focuses on promoting the Bilyoner platform, which serves as a major sponsor for a large number of sports channels. According to GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI, the distribution of the management game "Menajer Lig 2026" has begun in the Turkish market, promising a "strategy that turns into profit."

In addition, BEŞİKTAŞ SEVDALILARI and FENERABAHÇE HABERLERİ are widely advertising Bilyoner's AI-based analysis tool, known as "Bahista." The channels emphasize that these are "super-analyses for the new season" to allow users to take the field with a relative advantage. Furthermore, the use of the "Kupon Emri" (Coupon Order) feature is being promoted, which, according to 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗵ç𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗵𝘂 💛💙🇹🇷, allows users "not to miss live betting opportunities in ongoing matches."

Parallel to the sports activity, other channels such as Türkçe Dublaj Filmler are using the platform to promote an online casino offering a "100% Free Spin bonus." The promotional activity extends beyond the realm of sports; channels like Edebiyat | Yazar - Eser Eşleştirme have integrated advertisements for the BtcTurk | Hisse investment service as part of a campaign supporting the Turkish national team, under the slogan: "Together, we challenge the world."

Finally, the Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü channel reports on a sign-up offer for the Betebet site, which offers a "250 Turkish Lira trial bonus" to new users. It should be noted that all the reported channels operate as fan or entertainment content platforms, with the marketing content mostly marked as "#sponsorlu" (sponsored), a fact that indicates a business model based on commercial partnerships with gambling entities.
