Random State is preparing to go live in the United Arab Emirates after becoming the latest lottery supplier to gain a license in the jurisdiction.
The gaming-related vendor license from the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) enables Random State to roll out its portfolio of eInstant games and bespoke digital-lottery products to licensed operators in the UAE.
“The UAE has the potential to become one of the world’s most dynamic digital-lottery markets,” said Adam Fonsica, co-founder and chief operating officer at Random State. “Earning the GCGRA’s trust is a major milestone for us, and we’re eager to introduce our gamified eInstants and custom draw games to local players later this year.”
Random State expects its first UAE titles to go live in the next month.
The UAE Lottery, operated by Momentum-owned The Game, is currently the only GCGRA-licensed lottery in the UAE.
Random State is the sixth games provider to secure a gaming-related vendor license in the UAE, alongside the likes of Scientific Games, IGT, Novomatic, Aristocrat and EQL Games.
Further licenses have been issued to equipment provider Smartplay International, geolocation specialist Xpoint and payment provider PayBy.
