Geolocation technology provider Xpoint Technology has become the latest supplier to be approved to operate under the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) new commercial gaming framework.
Xpoint has been awarded a gaming-related vendor license by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), enabling the company to provide its geolocation services to GCGRA-licensed commercial gaming operators.
Xpoint is the fourth company to be licensed as a gaming-related vendor by the GCGRA after Smartplay International, Aristocrat Technologies and PayBy.
Wynn Al Marjan is so far the only company to be granted a land-based gaming facilities licence, while the UAE Lottery operator The Game is currently the only lottery licensee.
Xpoint recently celebrated a major win against rival GeoComply in the US Court of Appeals, which ruled in favour of Xpoint by upholding the dismissal of GeoComply’s patent infringement suit after finding its geolocation patent to be invalid.
