The Turkish government is following the trend of the United States and Norway and has decided to take stronger action against online poker sites and players. The Turkish law enforcement agencies have reportedly compiled a list of over 3500 people who are involved in playing online poker and the question remains what the authorities plan to do with this information.

In a new bid to crack down on playing online poker, culprits will be fined 100 New Turkey Lira (about $85). While on an individual level, this might not sound like a lot of money, this fine actually is applied to every single game played. The combined number of games played from the list of 3500 players, is said to stand on over 46,000.
