Sports Betting in Egypt
Egyptians enjoy placing wagers on sports events. The most popular type of sport event to bet on in Egypt is football. Until a few years ago, there were no official Egyptian sportsbooks, and all sports betting in Egypt was among friends. Recently, the Egyptian National Post Organization teamed up with the Greek company Intralot to offer a sports lottery in Egypt. Betting games are available at thousands of points of sale, and this sports lottery replaces sportsbooks in Egypt as the primary form of sports betting in the country.

Online Sports Betting in Egypt
If Egyptian players want to bet on sports events, they use online sportsbooks. There are no Egyptian sportsbooks on the internet because gambling websites cannot be hosted in Egypt. Instead, players in Egypt use foreign online bookmakers for placing bets online. These websites will probably be in English, and not all of them will accept Egyptian players, but they are a great alternative to the official Egyptian sports lottery.
