A brand with SEVERE documented complaints - accounts emptied, incorrect withdrawal destinations, deleted winnings, and allegations of rigged games and an illegitimate licence
Not available lawfully hereIs Sahabet 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, Sahabet 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 Sahabet 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.

Pros
Cons
- SEVERE: independent complaint alleges rigged games and an illegitimate licence, with a formal complaint reportedly filed to the licensing authority
- Documented accounts emptied and balances drained
- Documented withdrawals sent to incorrect bank accounts
- Documented winnings unfairly deleted from accounts
- Offshore/unlicensed and blocked in Turkey, where private gambling is prohibited
Our verdict
We want to report the most severe findings possible directly. Independent Turkish consumer-complaint platform Sikayetvar documents multiple serious allegations against Sahabet: money taken from accounts with balances emptied, withdrawals sent to incorrect bank accounts, and winnings unfairly deleted from accounts. Most seriously, at least one user specifically alleges that Sahabet's games are rigged and that the site's claimed licence is not legitimate - reporting having filed a formal complaint with evidence to the licensing authority Sahabet claims to be registered with. Additional complaints describe games apparently designed to drain user balances, with consistent losses reported over many betting rounds. Turkey prohibits private online gambling entirely - only state operators (Milli Piyango, IDDAA, Jockey Club) are legal, and casinos have been banned since 1998 - so Sahabet operates there as an offshore, unlicensed, blocked brand with no regulated welcome bonus available. Given the severity and specificity of these documented complaints - rigged games, an allegedly illegitimate licence, emptied accounts, and misdirected withdrawals - we strongly recommend avoiding this brand entirely.

How we verified this
One thing we could not establish: who owns and operates this brand. The rest of this review is sourced, but an operator we cannot name is one you cannot hold to account.
The serious documented complaints - accounts emptied, withdrawals sent to incorrect accounts, winnings deleted, and the specific allegation of rigged games and an illegitimate licence (with a formal complaint reportedly filed to the licensing authority) - are drawn from Sikayetvar, an independent Turkish consumer-complaint platform, corroborating multiple distinct user reports of the same pattern. Turkey's prohibition of private online gambling (state monopoly, casinos banned since 1998) is corroborated by independent sources (Wikipedia, Sportoto.gov.tr).
