GGPoker continues to increase its presence in the global online poker market. Thanks to the alliance that the local room PokerArabia signed with GGNetwork, players from Lebanon will now be able to join the global field (.com).

The reservation expands its borders

The global online poker leader has landed in another country where the legal market has only been operating through a single site for two years.

Since September 1, 2024, the Lebanese poker room PokerArabia has been sharing its player pool with the GGPoker Network.

PokerArabia opened its doors on November 17, 2022, receiving the first and only license from the Lebanese authorities. The company that operates the site, Casino Du Liban, was created in the 1950s alongside a casino of the same name.

For two years, poker fans in Lebanon could only play against each other. The total cash games traffic on PokerArabia was around 500 connections at peak time.

After migrating to the GGPoker Network base and moving to the new game client, locals will benefit from joining the largest field in the world; they will also be able to compete in the WSOP Online.

Reactions

Sarne Lightman, CEO of GGPoker, commented on the new partnership:

“We are incredibly excited to welcome PokerArabia players to the GGPoker family. This partnership with Casino Du Liban underscores our commitment to bringing global liquidity and the best online poker experience to players worldwide. Lebanese players can now look forward to joining the world’s biggest poker community and competing in the best games and biggest tournaments available anywhere.”

Jad Gharios, President and CEO of Online Support Services (operator of BetArabia and Poker Arabia licensed by Casino du Liban), added:

“We are constantly looking to provide our clients with the best services and products in the market, and our partnership with GGPoker complements this direction.”

It should be noted that since 2020, the GGPoker Network has been working with another Middle Eastern room, 7XL Poker, which accepts players from Israel.
