EGT Gains UAE Gaming-Related Vendor License from GCGRA

Euro Games Technology (EGT) has received a Gaming Related Vendor License from the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) in the United Arab Emirates. This regulatory milestone enables EGT to supply its portfolio of land-based gaming products to licensed operators across the UAE, as the jurisdiction progresses in establishing a commercial gaming industry.

GCGRA Awards Vendor License to Euro Games Technology

The United Arab Emirates, through its General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, has authorised Euro Games Technology as a Gaming Related Vendor. This license is required for suppliers intending to provide gaming products and services to operators legally authorised within the UAE. EGT’s approval by the GCGRA confirms that it has met the regulator’s compliance and suitability standards.

The GCGRA is tasked with overseeing the commercial gaming sector in the UAE, a jurisdiction attracting heightened global interest as it formalises its regulatory framework. This approval is a marker of EGT’s ability to engage directly with the market as it opens to international technology vendors and service providers.

EGT’s Position in the Emerging UAE Gaming Market

With its new vendor license, EGT is positioned to participate as the UAE develops the infrastructure for land-based gaming. The market has become a focal point for major casino suppliers and operators, with regulatory requirements now taking shape. EGT aims to bring its experience and product quality to licensed partners within the UAE.

Nadia Popova, Chief Revenue Officer and Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Euro Games Technology, stated:

“The UAE represents one of the most closely watched emerging gaming jurisdictions worldwide. Receiving this license reflects EGT’s longstanding commitment to regulatory compliance, product quality and responsible business practices. It also enables us to participate in a market with significant long-term potential, where we believe our technology, manufacturing expertise and customer-focused approach can deliver real value to future licensed operator partners.”

Popova extended thanks to the GCGRA for its professionalism and to legal advisors WH Partners for support throughout the licensing process. This recognition underscores EGT's emphasis on meeting the regulatory expectations set by the UAE authorities.

Scope of EGT’s Licensed Activity in the UAE

EGT’s license covers the supply of land-based gaming equipment and solutions to operators approved by the UAE’s regulator.

• Only operators with valid UAE licenses may procure EGT’s land-based products.
• EGT’s engagement in the UAE is limited to products and services authorised by the GCGRA.
• The license is a prerequisite for vendors wishing to enter the regulated UAE gaming sector.

This step places EGT among the initial wave of international technology providers qualified to serve the UAE as its commercial gaming market grows.

Regulatory Compliance and Market Expansion

Euro Games Technology describes its UAE license as part of a wider strategy to expand across regulated markets. The supplier highlights a portfolio already installed in over 100 countries, with a focus on rigorous compliance and responsible business practices in each jurisdiction. The GCGRA’s licensing process required EGT to demonstrate adherence to both local and international standards.

The UAE’s path to regulated commercial gaming has drawn increasing attention from major B2B suppliers and operators as regulatory policies mature. EGT’s licence is regarded as an essential credential for building long-term b2b partnerships with local operators.

International Supplier Interest in the UAE

The regulatory progress in the United Arab Emirates is prompting a wave of applications from global gaming vendors closely watching the jurisdiction’s legal framework. As the GCGRA releases further guidelines, approved suppliers such as EGT are expected to play a critical role in supporting newly licensed operators.

EGT’s achievement may prompt peers to accelerate compliance efforts to secure their own eligibility in one of the most closely followed regulatory environments worldwide.
