May 8 – Turkey’s Besiktas JK has signed a strategic digital collaboration agreement with OKX TR, one of Turkey’s leading crypto platforms. The partnership aims to bridge the gap between sports and the digital finance ecosystem, offering exclusive benefits to the club’s fanbase.
]Under the terms of the agreement, Besiktas fans who register as new members on the OKX TR exchange will receive three months of free access to Karakartal+, the premium membership tier of the BJK SuperApp.
The collaboration was launched at Tüpraş Stadium with the attendance of Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı and OKX TR Chairman Mehmet Çamır, alongside several members of the club’s Board of Directors. During the ceremony, President Adalı emphasized that the club’s goal is to be by the fans’ side not just on the pitch, but in every aspect of life.
“Today, the bond between a fan and their club is established through the phone in their pocket. With over 1 million downloads, the BJK SuperApp has become one of Turkish football’s largest digital platforms. This partnership with OKX TR will change the investment habits of Beşiktaş supporters while providing a significant revenue stream for our club,” said Adalı.
OKX TR will pay the club a fee for every fan who registers using the code ‘BJK 1903’. The collaboration is designed to boost the user base of the BJK SuperApp, which serves as a digital hub for tickets, shopping, and financial services.
Fans who take advantage of the OKX TR membership and the subsequent Karakartal+ access will receive a suite of premium features, including:
– Early access to match tickets
– Exclusive offers at Kartal Yuvası (the club’s official retail stores)
– Special video content and player interviews
– Opportunities for signed jerseys and training session visits
– The ability to pay congress membership dues and perform digital wallet transactions directly through the app.

The BJK SuperApp, launched in November 2024 under the slogan ‘Beşiktaş is Yours’, continues to evolve as a comprehensive digital ecosystem, ensuring that every fan interaction contributes to the club’s financial sustainability.
