Veikkaus subsidiary Fennica Gaming has just landed a brand-new Gaming Related Vendor Licence from the UAE’s gaming regulator, the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) marking a major leap into the Middle East.
This coveted license authorizes Fennica to deliver its impressive “Games as a Service” (GaaS) lineup including slots, video poker, specialty games, and instant-win titles—via its Google Cloud-powered platform to licensed operators within the UAE’s regulated framework.
The UAE move pushes Fennica’s global reach even further from 15 countries across three continents to a new continent entirely joining the likes of the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Greece, and Ontario.
This UAE license isn’t just another milestone, it marks Fennica’s debut in the Middle East, signaling serious global ambitions. Market experts anticipate that UAE-issued licenses may be “passported” across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), potentially unlocking a wider regional iGaming market.
Fennica Gaming’s new UAE license is more than just a stamp of approval, it’s a bold statement that the company is poised to lead innovation in emerging markets. With its cloud-powered GaaS platform and global regulatory track record, Fennica is not just playing the game, it’s helping write the future rules.
