Abu Dhabi
The UAE’s only licensed lottery is reported to have launched two online betting platforms offering both online casino and sports betting to customers.
According to local media outlet Arabian Gulf Business Insights, the platforms – named TrueWin and Dream Island – are currently live and offering wagers on sports such as football, tennis, cricket and basketball plus live dealer games, poker, roulette and slots.
This is despite no law officially legalizing gambling having been published within the UAE. The operator of the sites, Momentum, does however run the Emirates’ only licensed lottery and as such is the sole company with any sort of permission to offer “legal” gambling.
Notably, the truewin.ae domain name was registered in the UAE in March 2023, the AGBI report states – roughly six months before the establishment of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), while Dream Island was registered even earlier in 2020.
Inside Asian Gaming has reached out to the GCGRA for comment.
While there is no formal law yet recognizing legal gambling, the regulator has been issuing various operator and supplier licenses over the past two years – most notably to Wynn Resorts for its US$5.1 billion integrated resort development in Ras Al Khaimah.
There have also been 16 supplier licenses issued to the likes of Aristocrat, Light & Wonder, IGT, Konami and Sportradar, while in recent days another iGaming and sportsbook operator, Coin Technology Projects LLC, has been listed on the GCGRA website – seemingly offering online gaming via a platform called Play 971.
A recent report by Vixio GamblingCompliance claims that the GCGRA is poised to allow one B2C online gaming license per emirate for each of the country’s seven Emirates, mirroring the model said to be in place for land-based casino gaming.

The Powerball Jackpot has swelled to a whopping $719 million after failing to crown a winner in almost three months – making it the third biggest prize of 2025.
Winning numbers will be announced on Saturday at 11 p.m.
The winner can either choose to receive the jackpot in annual payments over 30 years — and pocket some $24 million per year before taxes — or take the cash up front.
The one-time cash payout would be an estimated $333 million before taxes.
The lump sum is less than the advertised jackpot because the advertised amount is the total annuitized payout after 30 annual payments.
A Powerball ticket with five out of six winning numbers, worth $979,462, was sold at a 7-Eleven on Los Alisos Boulevard in Mission Viejo, California, Wednesday, according to the California Lottery website. However, a winner has not yet come forward to claim the prize.
The biggest jackpot in lottery history was just over $2 billion, which was won by 31-year-old California man Edwin Castro in November 2022.
Castro went for the $998 million lump sum, and took home about $628 million after taxes, according to the California Lottery.
He was sued by another California man, Jose Rivera, who claimed he was in fact the one who bought the winning ticket at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, and that it was stolen by his landlord.
A Los Angeles County judge tossed the suit in 2024.
If the current jackpot is taken as a lump sum up front, the winner would take home $210 million at a federal marginal rate as high as 37%, plus state taxes depending where they live.

Steve and Lenka Thomson won the £105m EuroMillions jackpot in 2019
A builder who won £105m on the National Lottery has funded and helped create a new centre for vulnerable young adults.
Steve Thomson, from Selsey, West Sussex, scooped the EuroMillions jackpot in 2019, vowing to give back to his local community.
On Friday, the 48-year-old opened a new permanent building for the charity Together Our Community (TOC) in Chichester.
"I knew exactly where I wanted to help after I won," Mr Thomson said.
The father-of-three added: "A few friends have sons and daughters with autism and other learning difficulties, and there was nowhere in the area for them to congregate safely, learn skills and make friends.
"As soon as they turn 18, they are completely forgotten about unless they're lucky enough to get a funded place in college.
"Even so, parents are left totally isolated and often have to give up their own jobs to support their kids.
"It's a real struggle and heartbreaking to hear their stories."
A spokesperson for the charity said the funding would "transform our ability to support young adults with disabilities to live, learn and work".
Mr Thomson said: "At first I helped TOC in a small way, buying a second-hand minibus to take the young people out for work experience with local businesses, volunteering activity and fun daytrips."
Steve Thomson has funded a new centre for vulnerable young adults in Chichester
Mr Thomson said he found a near derelict building in the middle of Chichester and poured his energy and resources into transforming it into the perfect base for the charity.
Across three floors, the new centre has a sensory room, an open-plan classroom and a training kitchen and cafe where the young people can learn how to cook and develop skills in hospitality.
Hilary Freeborough, from TOC, said: "When Steve said, 'I've found the building for you', we genuinely felt like we had won the jackpot ourselves.
"The support he has given us is incredible.
"He didn't just write a cheque. He has been here throughout, from planning the layout to ensuring we had the right circuit breakers, and the leaves were swept."
Fellow charity founder, Louise Collins, added: "Steve is so humble but we keep reminding him that his commitment to supporting us and the passion he has shown will be life-changing for so many young people."
Mr Thomson – who still visits his old village to meet his friends at the local pub – claimed his motivation came from a childhood spent volunteering alongside his father, Peter, a self-employed window cleaner.

One lucky player has scooped the Euromillions jackpot of £157 million by correctly guessing the five winning numbers and the two lucky stars following Friday's draw (November 28). The player has been identified as someone living in France, who is now hundreds of millions of pounds richer.
Since the first draw in February 2004, hundreds of EuroMillions jackpot winners have been crowned across all nine participating countries. The largest prize for Euromillions this year, a staggering £218 million, has been won three times by players from France, Ireland and Austria, but the top prize has so far eluded the UK.
The biggest UK win occurred in 2022 when an anonymous player bagged a life-altering £195,707,000. The EuroMillions jackpot reached its limit of 230 million Euros ahead of the draw on Friday 8th July, where it remained until Tuesday 19th July when one lucky ticket sold in the UK claimed the entire prize.
The winner quickly collected their money, but chose to remain anonymous. Had the jackpot not been won in this draw, a Must Be Won draw would have taken place in the subsequent draw.
This victory comes just months after Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester won £184,262,899, catapulting their net worth to a level similar to that of pop sensation Harry Styles, according to the Express. This jackpot set a new record for the biggest-ever win in the UK at the time, after skyrocketing to €215 million (£184 million) in just seven and a half weeks in the spring of 2022.
A €130 million Superdraw had been planned for late April, but it was effectively delayed as the top prize already exceeded this amount. The jackpot would have reached its €230 million cap with one more rollover, but a UK ticket holder matched all the numbers on 10th May.
The jackpot was claimed by Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester. They revealed that they continued to work on the day they discovered their win, and chose to go public so as not to 'burden' others with keeping their secret.
The numbers drawn in the National Lottery EuroMillions on Friday were: 05, 29, 33, 39, 42. The lucky stars were: 03, 09.
The Millionaire Maker Selection number was also decided as XXGW96165. On top of this, Friday's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers were: 06, 08, 11, 29, 32.
The Thunderball was 03. The next Euromillions draw will be held on Tuesday, December 2, with a reduced jackpot of £14.9 million.
