Several key nations continue to block and ban the operation of online casinos within the national markets. Turkey in particular in one of the countries that has really cracked down on internet gambling and severely prosecutes and online casino gambling and betting companies that attempt to circumvent the legislation and access Turkish gamblers anyway. And though internet gambling is a huge and lucrative market, Turkey is currently content with its lottery operations. Over the past several months a lot of the key lottery companies in the gaming market have been watching the situation develop and have actually submitted tenders to the Turkish government for control of the nations lottery.

The latest news indicates that an Italian company, Lottomatica, is interested in winning the bid on the Turkish lottery in conjunction with Dogan Sirketler Grubu Holding A.S., a Turkish based company. The Italian online gambling and lottery market is growing rapidly as internet betting expands and there is talk of internet casinos making it into the market. Lottomatica though has little to do directly with the online casino gambling industry. Instead, this company is heavily involved in all aspects of it national lottery as well as the operation of international lotteries (this includes land and internet lottery offerings).

Lottomatica is a huge name in the land and online lottery industries and securing the Turkey deal would really put the company at the forefront of the international lottery market. As for the partnership deal with Dogan – that agreement is a firm 50-50 between the two companies. The decision to partner with Dogan was a strong choice, because the company is already based in Turkey and operating in the market, there is a definite advantage.
