Pollard Banknote Limited, a Canadian company with over a century of experience in the gaming industry, has just received the green light to bring its exciting range of gaming products and services to the United Arab Emirates. Think instant tickets, snazzy digital games, and all sorts of retail goodies!
The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the federal body overseeing gaming in the UAE, has given Pollard Banknote its stamp of approval as a licensed gaming vendor. This means Pollard Banknote can now partner with regulated lottery operators across the Emirates, helping to grow the market and, as Co-Chief Executive Officer Doug Pollard highlighted, even support charitable causes through increased revenue.
Pollard Banknote isn’t new to the global scene; they’re already a big hit with over 60 lotteries worldwide, boasting a strong presence in North America and Europe. With this new license, they’re eager to forge new partnerships in the UAE and share their extensive portfolio.
For those who love a bit of history, Pollard Banknote has been around since 1907! They’re a full-service lottery provider, known for everything from manufacturing instant tickets to providing cutting-edge digital gaming solutions and even merchandising. They’ve also got a hand in the charitable gaming market in North America, supplying pull-tab tickets, bingo paper, and electronic gaming devices.
And it seems Pollard Banknote is in good company! They’re joining a growing list of top-tier gaming providers who’ve recently secured similar licenses in the UAE, including industry giants like NOVOMATIC, TCSJOHNHUXLEY, Scientific Games, Aristocrat, Light & Wonder, and Konami Gaming.
This is a fantastic development for the UAE’s regulated gaming market, promising more choice and exciting opportunities for players and charities alike!
