A lottery solutions provider has received authorization to operate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), securing a vendor license from the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). This marks the company’s initial foray into the UAE, a region rapidly emerging as a center for regulated gaming.
The GCGRA, established to oversee commercial gaming and lottery regulation within the UAE, is focused on upholding industry integrity and promoting responsible gaming practices. The newly acquired license enables the lottery provider to offer its products and services to support the expanding network of regulated operators in the region.
The license allows the company to introduce its range of lottery solutions to the UAE market. These solutions include instant ticket products, digital games, and retail lottery tools.
The UAE’s regulated lottery system, launched recently, has garnered international attention. Several international vendors have obtained licenses, joining a roster that includes established names in the gaming industry.
The UAE lottery recently joined the World Lottery Association (WLA), signaling its commitment to aligning with global integrity standards. With experienced regulators guiding the GCGRA, the UAE’s lottery sector is progressing towards a transparent future.
The lottery provider’s license coincides with significant development in the UAE’s gaming and hospitality sectors. The region is poised to become a major international destination, with projects such as Hard Rock International’s planned hotel and residence in Ras Al Khaimah.
The expansion into the UAE follows a recent partnership, highlighting the company’s global growth strategy. The company is now among a select group of gaming-related vendors officially listed by the GCGRA.
