Archeologists have discovered that gambling existed in Egypt as long ago as 3000 B.C. in the form of six-sided dice. So it is not surprising that gambling is as popular today in Egypt as it was then, with an abundance of land casinos. However, as online gambling has not been regulated by the government, there are as yet no Egypt online casinos, although players can visit offshore sites.

Gambling In Egypt
Egypt has a gambling heritage that dates back to ancient times, a heritage that has been passed down through countless generations, which is why it is still so popular in the country today. As proof of this, Egypt boasts a multitude of land casinos that are frequented by locals and tourists alike.
While casino gambling is the most popular form of gambling in Egypt, poker and sports betting are gaining popularity all the time. In fact, poker tournaments have become almost commonplace in Egypt's largest cities, particularly Cairo, while sports betting is starting to pick up, although it is thought to require greater government regulation.
Online Gambling In Egypt
While land casinos are flourishing in Egypt, online gambling is still very much in its infancy in the country. However, it is growing in popularity as more Egyptians gain access to the internet. Because the Egyptian government has not regulated online gambling - and does not appear likely to do so any time soon - there are no Egypt online casinos in operation.
The good news for Egyptian online gambling fans, however, is that while the government has not introduced any laws or regulations to regulate online gambling, neither has it put any laws or measures in place to stop Egyptians from gambling online at any foreign-owned online casinos that will have them.
Which is why a few leading online casinos even offer Arabic language sites. Because there are no specifically Egyptian methods of payment, players from Egypt must make online casino deposits using such popular international payment methods as Skrill, Neteller and credit cards.
