What a player risks
Online casino games in this market are reserved to the state operator. No other site is licensed to offer them, and a licence issued elsewhere, offshore or foreign, does not make play legal where the offer is reserved to a monopoly. A site outside the monopoly is not supervised by the local regulator: its players have no access to that regulator's protection or dispute resolution, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on local law, using such a site may also lead to fines or prosecution. The register records for Lebanon: Illegal outside BetArabia: monopoly of Casino du Liban; crackdown campaigns by the Internal Security Forces against illegal betting networks; blocking of sites.
