In Egypt, online gambling is a regulated activity. The Egyptian government has issued licenses to several online gambling operators, allowing them to offer real-money gambling services to Egyptian residents. However, online gambling is only legal if it is conducted through a licensed operator. Unlicensed online gambling sites are considered illegal, and the Egyptian government has taken steps to block access to these sites (1).
The Egyptian government has also implemented measures to prevent underage gambling and to combat gambling addiction. For example, online gambling operators are required to implement age verification systems and to provide responsible gambling resources to their customers. The Egyptian government has also established a self-exclusion program, which allows individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from online gambling activities (2).

The Egyptian government has also established strict regulations for online gambling operators. These regulations include requirements for operator transparency, responsible gambling measures, and player verification. The Egyptian government has also established a regulatory body, the Egyptian Gaming Control Board, to oversee the online gambling industry (2).
