UAE Lottery surpasses 800,000 players as prize payouts top US$44.9m

The UAE Lottery has awarded over AED165m (US$44.9m) in prizes since its launch in November 2024.

The UAE Lottery, operated by The Game LLC and licensed by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), has surpassed 800,000 registered players and awarded more than AED165m (US$44.9m) in prizes since launching in November 2024.

The lottery’s portfolio includes the flagship Lucky Day draw, which features a top prize of AED30m (US$8.16m), alongside Pick 3 and Pick 4 games. The milestone follows the operator securing Level 2 Responsible Gaming Certification from the World Lottery Association (WLA).

Referring to the Level 2 Responsible Gaming Certification, a spokesperson for the UAE Lottery told Gulf News: “This certification marks a step forward in how The UAE Lottery is operated, with responsible play embedded into the programme as it grows. After attaining membership of the World Lottery Association, we focused on further strengthening our alignment with international best practices, leading to the achievement of WLA Responsible Gaming Level 2 certification.”

The GCGRA awarded the federal licence to The Game LLC in July 2024, with the official launch following four months later.
