Sportingbet, the London-based operator, is seeking a bail hearing for two of its junior staff members arrested in Turkey at the end of May in connection with the group's Turkish-facing sports betting operation Superbahis.com.
Sportingbet has retained a local law firm which is trying to ascertain why the two men -- both Turkish nationals who are residents of London -- were detained alongside around 30 individuals associated with Maslin Properties, the company's former marketing partner.
Neither of the men has been charged.
"We are seeking a hearing next week to get the Turkish equivalent of bail or a charge," Andy McIver, Sportingbet chief executive told the Telegraph. "The whole thing is very frustrating. It's very unfair on the individuals."
