Land-based casino approvals are issued administratively by the Ministry of Tourism for specific international hotels under Law 8/2022 Art. 24, exclusively for non-Egyptian patrons and operating in foreign currency — this is not a public licensing process and is inaccessible to private operators seeking market entry. Online gambling is prohibited without exception for residents. No sports-betting, lottery, or B2B-supplier licensing pathway exists for private operators; the National Lottery and horse racing are state/derogation carve-outs, not open licence classes.
