Prestigious land-based casino in Lebanon extends its exclusivity of the legal market online after partnering with leading platform provider
TG Lab has officially launched its full turnkey online casino, sportsbook and agency solution with the legendary Casino du Liban, the most iconic land-based casino in Lebanon and the Middle East.
The partnership sees Casino du Liban, which has exclusivity over land-based gaming in Lebanon, launch a full online sports betting and casino experience for players in the country to become the official online gaming site for the fast-growing market of over 6 million people.
The legal gaming market in Lebanon growth potential, experts estimate, could be worth between UD$500m – $1bn over the coming years driving valuable funds back to the government via the 50% gaming tax paid by the operator.
Roland Khoury, Chairman and General Manager of Casino du Liban said: “As the exclusive casino in the country it is our responsibility to ensure that players have the best possible experience at our land-based venue and now online. With TG Lab as our platform partner, we can do just that. This news will also hopefully eliminate the illegal online market in Lebanon, with players now having access to a place where they can play online safely and securely.”
“We undertook a very competitive RFP process and TG Lab emerged as the leader to provide the platform and technology for our online sportsbook and casino,” he added.
The deal with TG Lab, which includes agent software, will also provide major upsides to local Lebanese businesses such as retailers with market growth benefitting all stakeholders.
Ugnius Simelionis, CEO of TG Lab, said: “We are truly honoured to have been chosen by Casino du Liban to power its online sportsbook and casino. It really is an iconic brand, and we look forward to helping the operator unlock the huge potential of legal online gaming in Lebanon through the combination of its prestigious name and our cutting-edge technology.”

Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore.
