Overview
The Egyptian pound (symbol: Pt, code: EGP) is the official currency of Egypt. On this page you will find a list of online casinos that accept Egyptian pound as a payment currency.
Egyptian Pound Online Casinos
Egyptian law has made it almost impossible for Egyptian citizens to gamble, either at land-based or online casinos. Foreign citizens are excluded from this, as they are not subject to Egyptian gambling laws. Egyptians, however, can find ways to gamble, as only operating a casino is considered a crime. On the other hand, there are no Egyptian pound online casinos, and players are required to convert their funds into one of the major international currencies, such as British pound, US dollar, or Euro, before they can complete the deposit.
Banking
While the legality of gambling is not the biggest issue in the country, finding viable banking options is. With only 10% of its citizens having a bank account and with a 2% credit or debit card penetration rate, Egyptian credit and debit cards are not always accepted with foreign sites and even online merchants. Some gambling sites even decline transactions from Egyptian credit or debit cards altogether. But despite those issues, there are various e-wallets available to Egyptians. Services such as Skrill, EntroPay, WebMoney, and NETELLER make it possible to gamble at foreign online casinos.
