GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, is thrilled to announce that players from PokerArabia, the Middle East’s only government-licensed online poker room, are set to join the vibrant GGPoker community. This exciting development marks a significant milestone in GGPoker’s ongoing commitment to open access to global liquidity to online poker markets worldwide.
PokerArabia, based in Lebanon and managed by Casino Du Liban, will migrate its player base to the award-winning GGPoker platform over the weekend of September 1, 2024. This integration ensures that PokerArabia players will now enjoy the benefits of belonging to the largest and most dynamic poker community, including access to the richest and most prestigious online poker tournaments and in time to compete for some of the 33 bracelets on offer at GGPoker’s WSOP Online 2024.
Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: “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, Chairman and CEO of Onlive Support Services (the operator of BetArabia and PokerArabia by Casino du Liban license) 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. We look forward to the online launch, offering WSOP Online to the region, and hosting a live WSOP event at the historically-acclaimed Casino du Liban in the near future.”
Casino Du Liban, a renowned live gaming venue that first received its license from the Lebanese government in 1957, launched its online gaming platform, BetArabia, in November 2022. This transition to GGPoker represents a new chapter for PokerArabia players, providing them with enhanced gaming opportunities and a superior online poker environment.
The migration of PokerArabia to the GGPoker platform is set for the weekend of September 1, after which all eligible Lebanese players will be able to enjoy the numerous benefits and features of the GGPoker platform and liquidity. This collaboration further highlights GGPoker’s dedication to innovation, excellence, and global outreach in the online poker industry.
