Mobile-first games studio Hacksaw Gaming has officially finalized a strategic distribution agreement with BetArabia, marking the company’s competitive debut within Lebanon’s locally licensed online gaming sector.
A Legacy Transformed for the Digital Space
BetArabia holds a highly unique position in the Middle East, operating as Lebanon’s first and only legally sanctioned online gaming platform under an exclusive framework issued by the Lebanese Ministry of Finance in 2022. Launched publicly in November 2022, the digital brand directly extends the legacy of the historic Casino du Liban into the interactive space.
By blending decades of land-based luxury operations with a modern online platform, the entity delivers sports betting, casino games, live dealer rooms, and peer-to-peer poker across all modern web and mobile channels. The integration gives Hacksaw Gaming a vital early foothold in a tightly controlled market with immense local player loyalty.
Hacksaw Gaming operates a highly scalable, modular technology platform built on a modern code base that enables rapid deployment and robust cross-platform distribution. The provider’s expansive portfolio includes digital slots, interactive scratch cards, and high-frequency instant win formats. Listed publicly on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker HACK, the B2B supplier services a premier operator base spanning both major private brands and historic state lotteries across global re-regulated markets.
Opening Doors to New Audiences
Marcus Cordes, Operational CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, noted that entering the Lebanese territory represents a key milestone for the group’s international growth roadmap:
“Launching in Lebanon for the first time is an exciting step for Hacksaw, and we’re pleased to partner with BetArabia as the country’s only licensed online operator. It’s a unique setup, and one that gives us the opportunity to bring our signature titles to a new audience.”
