In statements to Al-Shorouk, an Egyptian daily newspaper, Badawi said the government is expected to submit amendments to Egypt’s Cybercrime Law after Eid al-Adha. The proposed changes would explicitly criminalise online betting applications following what he described as a rise in fraud cases linked to such platforms.
