Why and how does SPK block a site?
When the Board finds unauthorised capital-markets activity aimed at people resident in Türkiye, it orders an access block under Article 99 of the Capital Markets Law; Article 99/A covers unauthorised crypto-asset service providers. The Board decides, BTK enforces. Bulletins list domains only — a brand name appearing in one does not by itself mean that brand was blocked, because many entries are clone sites impersonating the trade name of a licensed institution.

Is a site that is not on the list safe?
No. The block list is not a list of safe sites; it shows only the addresses SPK has identified and blocked so far. Unauthorised platforms reopen by adding a digit or switching domains. The right order is the reverse: first verify that the firm holds SPK authorisation, then use the block list as a second check. The third check is the broker dossier: our broker directory shows each firm’s SPK status and FX Trust Score, with the calculation set out in our methodology.
What if your address is on the list?
If the domain you traded with appears in one of the bulletins, you hold a dated, official finding you can attach to a criminal complaint. Which body to approach is set out in our forex complaint guide, and the immediate steps in our forex scam guide.
