General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority
Federal UAE authority with exclusive jurisdiction over commercial gaming licensing and supervision
Federal UAE authority with exclusive jurisdiction to regulate, license, supervise, and investigate commercial gaming, including gaming facilities, internet gaming, lotteries, event wagering, and gaming-related vendors. GCGRA states that operating, facilitating, or playing through unlicensed commercial-gaming services is unlawful. A foreign casino, crypto payment option, or offshore licence therefore does not establish UAE authorisation.
