In the UAE, gaming operators must comply with a set of regulations established by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). Here are some key rules:
- Licensing: Operators must obtain a gaming license from the GCGRA. This includes licenses for lotteries, internet gaming, sports wagering, and land-based gaming facilities.
- Responsible Gaming: Operators are required to implement a Socially Responsible Gaming Program. This includes player education, responsible marketing, employee training, and evaluation plans to measure the effectiveness of these initiatives.
- Audits: Licensed gaming operators will be subject to audits every two years to ensure compliance with regulations.
- Qualifying Domestic Entity: Operators must have a qualifying domestic entity in the UAE to maintain their license.
- Player Protection: Operators must provide tools for players to manage their gaming activities, such as setting limits on time and money spent.
- Compliance with Local Laws: All gaming activities must adhere to the broader legal framework of the UAE, including anti-money laundering regulations and consumer protection laws
