Scientific Games has secured regulatory approval to enter the nascent lottery market in the United Arab Emirates.

The company has been awarded a gaming-related vendor license by the UAE’s General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), enabling it to supply lottery products and services in the country.

The first GCGRA-licensed lottery launched in the UAE in November 2024.

“We are extremely pleased that Scientific Games has been authorized as a lottery supplier in the UAE with this license,” said Michael Conforti, president of international business at Scientific Games. 

“We look forward to putting our more than 50 years of expertise to work in the UAE to offer high-performing products that will responsibly help drive revenue for lottery programs supporting local communities and projects of national importance.”
