GamBleB, a pioneer in the Lebanese start-up scene, enables users to place bets on real-world events. Creator Dimitrios Habib was inspired by a heated dinner conversation and conceived the idea of a platform where various subjects can be bet on. Despite the site being hacked and facing legal entanglements from the Ministry of Interior, Habib maintains optimism due to the platform’s record-breaking betting numbers. Critics, however, argue the site may breach certain boundaries, with possible influencing effects on the economy, and the risk of misuse by intelligence agencies.
