Novomatic Bolsters Its Influence in the UAE by Securing the GCGRA’s Licence

About the UAE Regulatory Body

The institution provides certifications for entertainment solutions and services, holding the designation of a federal executive agency.

The organisation was founded in September 2023 with the purpose of controlling:

• guarantees of transparency and responsible business practices;
• insurance for legal compliance of RMG gambling firms within the UAE;
• development and implementation of an all-around regulatory framework and policies.

The emerging supervisory agency has swiftly established its presence on the global stage, capturing the interest of leading international brands looking for beneficial expansion prospects.
