Aristocrat confirmed as first int’l company to be granted Gaming Related Vendor License for UAE

Aristocrat has confirmed that the company is the first international slot and online technology company to be granted a Gaming-Related Vendor license and is allowed to do business in the United Arab Emirates.

GCGRA, UAE

A company release confirmed the reports that the company had been granted a license by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) – the entity responsible for overseeing commercial gaming in the UAE.

This license allows Aristocrat to provide land-based electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and online games and technology solutions to commercial gaming operators licensed by the GCGRA.

Speaking of being the first to receive the ‘Gaming Related Vendor License’, Aristocrat’s CEO of Gaming, Hector Fernandez noted that “At Aristocrat, our vision is to deliver the best seat in the house wherever, and whenever the world plays. We look forward to doing so by providing premium content for UAE players while encouraging responsible gameplay”.

The news comes as the Chief Operating Officer of RAK Hospitality, the developer behind the Wynn Al Marjan Island project, told media that the UAE’s first integrated resort would be opening within the first quarter of 2027.

Other licenses have also reportedly been issued to gaming-related entities for the provision of products and services in the UAE, however, the GCGRA has kept the information close to its chest.
