Light & Wonder on Friday announced it has been granted a gaming-related vendor license by the United Arab Emirates’ General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, the entity overseeing commercial gaming activities.
The license enables Light & Wonder to provide land-based electronic gaming machines, table games/utilities, and igaming content to players with licensed operators in the UAE.
“Securing a license from the GCGRA is an important milestone for Light & Wonder as we enter one of the most anticipated new regulated markets in the world,” said Light & Wonder President and CEO Matt Wilson. “We’re honored to be among the first approved suppliers and are committed to bringing our trusted, responsible, and player-first approach to the UAE.”
According to a news release, the license “reflects Light & Wonder’s ongoing commitment to working collaboratively with regulators to ensure safe, secure, and responsible gaming experiences.”
