Culture and history

Liberia's identity is formed at the intersection of the American-Liberian heritage (English-speaking statehood, urban institutions) and indigenous traditions - kpelle, bassa, kru, mano, grebo, etc.

Community ties, respect for elders and family values ​ ​ are combined with the influence of Christian and Muslim norms that set a restrained attitude to excitement.

Historically, football, street games, music (including hipco) and lotteries have become popular entertainment as an affordable form of leisure.

In cities, mobile Internet and diaspora are increasing interest in sports betting and instant online games, but public demand remains the same: transparency of operators, protection of minors, prevention of addiction and respect for religious and cultural norms.
