The most popular CSGO site in the world banned in Turkey for a rather surprising reason
HLTV has been officially banned in Turkey for breaking the law.
Advertising gambling sites is very “difficult” in many countries. One wrong move and you can get a ban on the entire site.
And so it happened in this case. The Turkish government decided that HLTV, the most popular CS: GO website in the world, was breaking the law. Access to it was therefore blocked. To access HLTV from Turkey, you need to use a VPN at this point.
HLTV banned in Turkey
It is directly about promoting gambling sites, of course, related to CS: GO.
Admittedly, it is difficult to understand anything about this message. A simplified translation with the help of a translator confirms that it is a normal message informing about a ban.
This could have quite surprising consequences in the future. It is easy to imagine that since HLTV has been banned, a similar fate may await specific organizations that also promote gambling, streamers, or YouTubers related to CS: GO and other games.
