The UAE's General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) has awarded a license to The Game LLC, marking the launch of the country's first authorised lottery operation, under the name ‘UAE Lottery.’
This milestone aims to establish a well-regulated commercial gaming sector built on the principles of transparency, accountability, consumer protection and responsible gaming practices.
The UAE Lottery will offer a range of games tailored to diverse interests and financial preferences.
The GCGRA warned that engaging in, conducting, or facilitating commercial gaming activities within the UAE without approval is illegal and exposes offenders to severe penalties.
Playing as a consumer via unlicensed operators is also illegal, according to the GCGRA framework.
