Laws and regulation

Lebanon has a mixed and highly conservative model.

Casinos are allowed only in the format of a single concession - Casino du Liban (Maameltein); any other casinos are prohibited.

The state lottery operates under a concession agreement under the control of financial departments, and mutual rates are possible within the framework of the Beerut hippodrome.

Commercial sports betting outside of these exceptions and online casinos are not licensed; offshore sites are considered illegal, access and payments are periodically suppressed.

For casinos, the 21 + threshold applies, KYC/AML procedures, advertising restrictions and sponsorship are required.

The vector of regulation is the preservation of monopolies/concessions, increased compliance and the fight against "gray" online.
