Abstract
All kinds of criminal betting activities that are played over sports competitions by using digital technologies without the permission of the authorized institutions are considered as illegal betting. In the formation of illegal bets, legal violations due to illegal structuring and activities, and economic violations in terms of providing untaxed unfair profits draw attention. The perspectives of those working in the field gain importance in the evaluation of the criminal, economic, psychosocial and communication dimensions of illegal bets. The aim of this qualitative study is to reveal a determination about illegal sports betting in line with the opinions of the expert police officers working in the Istanbul Police Department Anti-Cybercrime Branch. The results of the operations carried out for illegal sports betting between 2017-2020 are also used as the supporting data of the research. In the study, illegal sports bets were evaluated with the semi-structured in-depth interview technique based on the descriptive method, with the data obtained from the expert police. With the literature review and expert police interviews, important data were obtained about the methodology and communicative paradigms of the impact of illegal sports betting crimes on individuals and society. In this context this original research, evaluated from the perspective of cybercrime experts, makes a contribution to the literature.
