TLDR Playtech subsidiary VSTechnology Limited has been added to the UAE’s GCGRA vendor register. The register now lists 23 approved gaming-related suppliers. The GCGRA has not released the license number or issue date for the new entry. Wynn Al Marjan remains the UAE’s only listed land-based gaming facility. The operator side of the market stays small even as vendor listings grow.
Playtech subsidiary VSTechnology Limited has joined the United Arab Emirates’ public gaming vendor register. The listing was confirmed by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, known as the GCGRA.
The addition brings the total number of vendors on the register to 23. VSTechnology now sits alongside other international suppliers already approved to work in the UAE.
The GCGRA has not shared when the license was issued. It also has not released the license number or which products the license covers.
Only businesses holding a valid license can offer commercial gaming products or services in the UAE. That rule applies to every company on the vendor list.
New Listing Details
The register connects VSTechnology Limited to Playtech’s corporate website. Playtech’s own filings describe the company as a wholly owned UK subsidiary.
The subsidiary is involved in licensing online gaming software and games. Playtech gained the business through its 2009 purchase of Gaming Technology Solutions.
That deal also brought Playtech ownership of VS Gaming. Both companies had been part of the same corporate group before the acquisition.
This new vendor entry adds another data point to the UAE’s growing gaming framework. Regulators in the country have been building out this public list over time.
Vendor List Keeps Growing
The GCGRA’s register already includes several familiar names in the gaming industry. These include Aristocrat Technologies, Novomatic, Scientific Games, LNW Gaming, Konami Gaming, and International Game Technology.
