The Libyan Republic (Lebanon) is a country located in West Asia and has a rich history dating back more than 7,000 years. After World War I, Lebanon became the territory of France shortly after that and gained independence at the end of World War II when the French withdrew from the country.

Lebanon has a unique legal system, confessionalism, a form of constituents based on religious groups. Today, there are 18 recognized religious groups in the country, each with its religious laws and tribunals.

Laws of Gambling in Lebanon 

In 1995, the government made a deal giving Casino du Lebanon a 30-year monopoly in the casino industry in the country. Gambling in Lebanon is only allowed in Casino du Lebanon. This casino is exclusive to domestic gambling. Outside of Casino du Lebanon, gambling is prohibited. Online gambling is also banned, and the Lebanese government has started banning foreign online casinos in recent years. The only companies in Lebanon that can host online gambling are La Libanaise des Jeux, the Lebanese lottery company, and the state-run Casino du Lebanon.

Lebanese can gamble online in June 2013, when the Justice Department of Lebanon decides to take the requirements and stop all overseas online gambling operators. As a result, overseas gambling sites have been blocked internet sites, and poker players and sports bettors in Lebanon are denied the right to bet on their favorite sports games and events  online.

The reasons for blocking foreign online gambling sites are that Lebanon wants exclusive rights to the game to belong to Casino du Lebanon. According to the law enacted in 1995, the Lebanese government is divided 30% of the revenue generated by Casino du Lebanon in the first 10 years. After that, it is 40%, and in the last 10 years is 50%. In 2011, the Lebanon government got $ 112 million from the casino.

The government owns a portion of the casino through Intra Investment, and the Central Bank of Lebanon owns 38%. It's pretty easy now to see why the government decided to block major international online gaming sites like Bwin, Bet365, PokerStars, and William Hill, which used to offer online sports betting and online poker. High quality for Lebanese people.
