Yggdrasil has strengthened its position in regulated iGaming markets by securing a partnership with BetArabia, the only licensed online casino operator in Lebanon. This new agreement will see BetArabia customers gain access to Yggdrasil’s extensive portfolio of slot titles, including popular series such as Vikings and Golden Fish Tank, known for their distinctive gameplay mechanics and recognisable themes.
In addition to Yggdrasil’s in-house content, BetArabia will also integrate a wide selection of third-party games developed by Yggdrasil’s YGG Masters studio partners. This encompasses proprietary titles from 13 independent studios, broadening the gaming options available to local players.
BetArabia operates under the exclusive licence granted to Casino Du Liban by the Lebanese Ministry of Finance in 2022, which covers both sports betting and iGaming. As a result, it maintains a monopoly within Lebanon’s regulated online gambling landscape.
The partnership continues Yggdrasil’s momentum in expanding its international presence, following a series of recent commercial deals aimed at increasing its distribution network across new and existing jurisdictions. By collaborating with BetArabia, Yggdrasil gains a foothold in the MENA region’s evolving iGaming market, while BetArabia enhances its portfolio with a diverse mix of branded and innovative gaming content.
Jose Kadala, Commercial Director at Yggdrasil, said: “This collaboration marks an exciting step for us as we enter the Lebanese market for the first time.
“Our product suite has been proven to resonate with players all over the world, and the MENA is an exciting, growing region where we are confident that our games will make an impact.”
Olga Degtiareva, Client Success Manager at Yggdrasil, said: “As the first and only licensed operator in the market, BetArabia hosts many of the nation’s most successful games, and we believe our engaging and innovative titles alongside timeless classics will elevate the casino’s offering even further. I’m excited to be part of this partnership and the journey ahead in the MENA market.”
Tigran Geghamyan, Chief Operational Officer at BetArabia, added: “This partnership is more than just content integration, it’s a strategic move to elevate the entire online gaming experience in the Middle East. By combining Yggdrasil’s world-class games with Betarabia’s deep regional insight and commitment to premium service, we’re bringing something truly unique to players across the region.
“This is a new standard, and we are proud to lead it. A huge thank you to our brilliant teams and to Yggdrasil for making this possible. This is just the beginning; the future looks thrilling.”
