Lebanon’s only casino operator says it’s looking for an online gambling technology partner, with a preference for mid-tier company that won’t cost too much and aren’t run by Israelis.

On Friday, Casino du Liban announced a request for proposals (RFP) for “the implementation of an internet gaming platform with operations management to be based in Lebanon.” The platform will host “an array of gaming content from multiple providers” of sports betting, live and RNG casino, poker and eSports products.

Would-be platform providers must have three or more current clients in “licensed markets or under a governmental license” to whom they have been working for at least three years. Companies “not working under regulated online gaming solutions environment are not eligible” to apply. Proposals must be accompanied by a US$25k bond.

Casino du Liban chairman Roland Khoury told the Daily Star that, while would-be providers “need to have hundreds of millions of dollars of business each year,” his company was looking for “B category” because ‘A’ companies “are too expensive for us.” Khoury also said that “Israeli firms” were ineligible to participate in the tender.
