Regulatory Developments

Turkey

Anti-online gambling legislation was introduced in Turkey in February 2007 to update existing legislation and underpin the State monopoly. The Group continues to accept bets from Turkish residents, although it does not have employees nor does it conduct advertising in the territory. However, two Group employees were arrested when making visits to Turkey in May 2008 on personal business, one has been subsequently released and has returned to the UK. The remaining employee has been released pending trial and charges have yet to be formalised.
