Sports Betting in Egypt<\/h1>\n
\n

Watching, following, and reading about sports is major source of recreation in Egypt. Matches by local teams are broadcast on Nile TV, and beIN Sports Arabia by Al Jazeera Sport shows us matches from around the globe. Football is the most popular to watch, but we are also home to the world\u2019s most renowned squash players. The CAVC region of FIVA is headquartered here and we dominate this region in both club and national volleyball competition.\r\n\r\nWe have other sports too. Egyptian fighter Ibrahim el Sawi won the middleweight championship in the top Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) promotion of the Arab League at Desert Force 13. We have professional handball, basketball, IFT tennis tournaments, and an UCI sanctioned professional cycling race too. Despite all of this, there are no bookies or betting shops located in Cairo, Sharm el Sheikh, Alexandria, Taba, or any of our other cities. Bookmaking is a crime nationwide that is punishable by both detention and fines.\r\n\r\nThere are however no laws in Egypt that prohibit anyone placing a bet. It is only illegal for bookies to accept them. In decades past wealthy residents would set up accounts with betting shops in London, England, and then place bets from Egypt over the telephone. Fast forward to now and we have online casinos for Egypt and internet bookies that are all legal, licensed, and regulated abroad. These can be used by anyone with an internet connection and wealth is not at all a requirement. This is what I explain in this article before concluding with more details about Egyptian sports.<\/p>\n
