Sports and betting

In Lebanon, they support primarily for football (Lebanese Premier League, national team) and basketball (LBL, heavyweight clubs), martial arts and motorsport are also noticeable.

Legal betting is presented in a narrow format - mutual bets on races at the Beerut hippodrome; commercial bookmakers (retail/online) are not licensed, offshore sites are considered illegal.

Advertising and promotion of bets are limited, payments are controlled by compliance; age thresholds are met within the general rules of responsible play.

Part of the demand goes offshore and neighboring jurisdictions, and domestically, interest in sports is supported without a wide "bookmaker" infrastructure.
