The future of the industry
Until 2030, Israel is likely to maintain its current architecture: only the national lottery and sports betting through an authorized platform are legal, and casinos (online/offline) will remain prohibited.
Regulatory vector - strengthening the responsible game (deposit/loss limits, self-exclusion, age verification), hard AML/KYC and payment filters, expanding blocking of illegal online.
The product focus in the legal segment will shift to mobile, live markets, statistics and "same-game" express within the framework of sports.
Antifraud and match-fixing monitoring (risk-scoring, AI-analytics) will be technologically strengthened. "Game tourism" and offshore demand will continue, but will be constrained by law enforcement.
Alternative scenarios (for example, point liberalization in Eilat) are unlikely and do not change the basic conservative trajectory.
