Economics and statistics

Lebanon's legal GGR is formed predominantly offline: Casino du Liban tables and slots, a national lottery and mutual bets at the hippodrome.

Revenues are distributed to the budget and social programs, and operators are growing spending on KYC/AML, security and energy logistics.

The indicators are strongly influenced by the tourist season and the solvency of domestic players: visits of the diaspora and guests increase the average check, while currency volatility and the liquidity crisis restrain the frequency of visits.

The lack of licenses for iGaming limits the potential tax base and incentivizes "gray" online, which requires ongoing enforcement.

The basic trend is the preservation of an offline monopoly with moderate revenue volatility and dependence on tourism and macroeconomics.
