A genuinely Curacao-licensed offshore sportsbook and casino (founded 2014), illegal to operate as a private gambling business in Turkey specifically
Not available lawfully hereIs Restbet legal in Turkey?
No. Real-money gambling is banned in Turkey. Under Turkey's gambling prohibition and the 2026 Penal Code overhaul, in force since long-standing, with penalties sharply increased in 2026, Restbet cannot lawfully offer you a welcome bonus here, and you cannot lawfully claim one.
Only state operators may take bets in Turkey - Iddaa for sports, Milli Piyango for lottery and the Turkish Jockey Club for racing. Everything else is illegal, and liability reaches the player: individual participants face fines. Enforcement is aggressive - the ICTA blocked over 233,000 sites in 2024, MASAK gate-keeps payments to state-sanctioned operators only, and from early 2026 Turkish banks were ordered to notify account holders that facilitating payments for illegal gambling is a criminal offence. source
Any Restbet bonus you see advertised for Turkey is offered from an offshore site operating against local law. Your payments can be blocked, your account can vanish with a mirror domain, and no Turkey regulator can help you recover funds. We therefore show no offer and no sign-up link on this page.

- Real customer disputes were addressed and resolved, per a sportsbookreview.com forum thread

- No regulated welcome bonus available in Turkey
Our verdict
Restbet was founded in 2014 and genuinely holds a Curacao Gaming Control Board (GCB) licence, per slotcatalog.com. Independently confirmed via a second, distinct source (a sportsbookreview.com forum thread, 'Restbet.com problem resolved'): a real account-restriction dispute involving UK customers unable to bet on NetEnt casino games, which the operator described as a 'misunderstanding' and resolved - though the affected user stated they would not continue using the brand given the incident. Separately, and specific to Turkey: it is genuinely illegal to operate as a private gambling business there, where casinos have been banned since 1998 and only state operators (Milli Piyango, IDDAA/Sportoto, the Jockey Club) are legal; Restbet is blocked by Turkey's BTK telecoms regulator, so no regulated welcome bonus is available there in any case.
