PokerArabia to Migrate to GGPoker Network: Middle Eastern Players Join Global Poker Pool

Exciting news for poker enthusiasts in the Middle East! Starting this Sunday, September 1st, PokerArabia, the region's sole government-licensed poker platform, will officially migrate to the GGPoker Network. This transition will allow players from the Middle East to access GGPoker’s extensive global liquidity pool and compete for coveted WSOP bracelets.

PokerArabia, based in Lebanon and operating under the Casino du Liban license, was established as the Middle East’s premier online poker room. Although BetArabia, its parent company, ventured into online gaming relatively recently, launching in November 2022, the shift to GGPoker marks a significant milestone for the platform.

The integration into GGPoker’s network will enable PokerArabia’s players to join a vast, international player base, participating in some of the biggest poker tournaments and games available. The timing of this migration coincides perfectly with the ongoing online World Series of Poker (WSOP) series, offering Lebanese players the chance to compete for prestigious WSOP bracelets.

Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership: “We are thrilled to welcome PokerArabia players to the GGPoker family. This collaboration with Casino Du Liban highlights our dedication to enhancing global poker liquidity and providing an unparalleled online poker experience. Lebanese players can now join the world’s largest poker community and access the best games and tournaments available.”

Jad Gharios, Chairman and CEO of Onlive Support Services—the operator of BetArabia and PokerArabia under the Casino du Liban license—also shared his excitement: “Our goal is to deliver top-notch services and products to our clients. Partnering with GGPoker aligns perfectly with this vision. We eagerly anticipate the online launch, which will bring WSOP Online to our region and set the stage for a live WSOP event at the renowned Casino du Liban in the near future.”

This migration not only represents a significant expansion for PokerArabia but also underscores the growing connectivity and opportunities within the global poker community.
