It is alleged that access to Sofascore, which provides sports content and is frequently preferred by football followers, has been blocked by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) in Turkey.
Users attempting to access the "Sofascore.com" address are met with a warning from the BTK regarding the block. The page, which cannot be accessed, displays the message: "Warning! Illegal betting can be used to finance terrorism. The money you send to illegal betting sites can make you a criminal. Furthermore, illegal betting and gambling are crimes."
NO STATEMENT FROM THE BTK
There has been no official statement from the BTK regarding the matter yet. However, it is believed that the access block was imposed due to betting advertisements published by Sofascore. It is noted that in line with the increasing inspections and criminal proceedings related to illegal betting activities in recent times, access blocks targeting platforms linked to betting sites may increase.
WHAT IS SOFASCORE?
Sofascore is known as a popular resource for match results, statistics, and live scores in various sports, primarily football. Whether the platform, which is actively used via social media and the internet, will make a statement regarding this block that affects its users and sports fans remains a subject of curiosity.
