Virtual gambling sites, which are rapidly becoming popular among young people, are becoming a growing problem. Virtual gambling sites, which adapt the logic of slot machines in casinos to digital games, have put many young people and families in debt.
Milli Gazete, which warns against virtual betting sites that have become widespread through sports competitions, now warns against virtual gambling.
We underline that precautions must be taken as soon as possible against the online gambling problem, which has become a matter of conflict even in mafia showdowns.
Unfortunately, our new generations, caught in the middle of unemployment, poor quality education system and tension in social life, are left alone with the dangers in the internet environment.
Illegal virtual gambling sites, which are rapidly becoming popular among young people, are among these dangers. While many families were devastated because of their children's virtual gambling debts, dozens of our young people committed suicide because of their debts.
As Milli Gazete, we have been warning for years that precautions should be taken about virtual betting and gambling sites. However, at this point, hundreds of thousands of young people have fallen into the 'earn easy money' trap of virtual gambling sites.
Virtual gambling sites, which adapt the logic of slot machines in casinos to digital games, literally trap young people to gamble with their eye-catching advertising methods on social media.
We draw attention again to the problem of illegal gambling, which has even become the subject of mafia showdowns, and warn the authorities to take urgent measures.
FROM VIRTUAL BETTING TO VIRTUAL GAMBLING
Thanks to a network established through illegal websites abroad, young people in Turkey are falling into a series of 'earn easy money' traps.
The virtual betting system, which in the past years only focused on sports competitions such as football and basketball, has now developed with slot games. Virtual gambling sites, which are rapidly becoming widespread among young people as a result of the failure to take precautions against the 'earn easy money' trap in the virtual world, can be considered as outright fraud.
Illegal gambling sites that advertise with social media influencers and sexually explicit videos are trying almost every way to attract the attention of young people in the virtual environment.
The fortunes promised by virtual gambling sites, where serious dirty money is involved, reveal how serious the situation has become.
VIRTUAL BETTING BARONS!
While many families in Turkey were trying to pay off their children's virtual gambling debts, unfortunately, dozens of young people committed suicide because of their debts.
The threat of virtual gambling has become so advanced that hundreds of news have been published about young people who stole their parents' savings, took out loans, sold their house and car, and lost their money on these illegal sites.
So much so that the threat of virtual gambling has even become the subject of mafia showdowns.
Judicial incidents involving many people introduced as 'virtual betting barons' had previously come to the agenda of Türkiye. Many virtual gambling gangs were busted with the operations launched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to combat organized crime.
However, virtual gambling gangs, many of which are abroad, continue to provide illegal online gambling due to the precautions that cannot be taken on the internet.
