Agreement Leads to Turkish Sportbetting Transparency - 04-18-08

April 18 - A fair and regulated Turkish sports betting industry became more of a reality this week, when it was announced that an information sharing agreement was signed between three interested parties in the industry: The Turkish Football Federation (TFF), Intelek, operators of the popular sportsbetting game, Iddaa, and the state-owned gaming company, Spor Toto Organization.

The agreement, signed between three representatives of the organizations in Instanbul this week, will introduce fair wagering practices and higher ethics to Turkish sportsbetting, it is hoped.

Under the deal, Intelek, a subsidiary of Intralot, will provide the Turkish Football Federation with statistical data relating to the betting game, Iddaa. The mechanism of the game require that all football games played in Turkey are listed. Intelek will also provide information about other Sport Toto games where relevant.

The Deputy General Manager of Communication for Intelek, Kerem Ertan, who signed the deal in Istanbul with the Chairman of the Football Federation, Hasan Dogan and Bekir Yunus Unjar, manager of Spor Toto Organization, said that transparency in the Turkish sports betting industry was of the highest importance.

The deal states that should  any suspicious behavior be picked up by Intelek through its risk management system and computerized system, the company will immediately bring the results to the attention of the Turkish Football Federation. The TFF then has the right to decide which further steps to take in the matter, whether to investigate the matter or to take legal preventative action.
