The UAE Grants First Gaming Licence to Aristocrat

Key Highlights of the Occasion

The newly acquired Gaming-Related Vendor certification affirms the firm's position as a leading supplier of advanced solutions for RMG studios within the country.

This permit enables the company to:

• provide land-based EGMs to casino venues in the region;
• collaborate with local online operators as a software supplier;
• establish new agreements to broaden its network of partners and client reach.

The issuance of the licence to the Australian company marks a historic milestone in the development of the UAE’s regulated gambling sector. The creator is anticipated to enhance local platforms and venues with high-quality software.

The firm’s entry into the region’s legal market has set a precedent for other international companies looking to establish operations in the country.

Aristocrat’s CEO of Gaming stated that the studio is deeply honoured to be the first international provider to enter the UAE gambling market. The spokesperson added that their team is proud to embrace the challenge of delivering top-tier entertainment experiences to local audiences.

The UAE’s Legal Gaming Market

The GCGRA launched as a federal executive authority in September 2023. The body oversees and regulates all aspects of the country’s RMG industry.

The organisation issued the first national lottery licence in July. This occasion marked a significant step in the integration of global gambling into the domestic economy.
