DUBAI: The UAE has established a regulatory body that would implement a framework for a national lottery and commercial gaming.

Kevin Mullally has been appointed as chief executive of the newly established General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), state news agency WAM reported, with industry veteran Jim Murren sitting as chairman of the board of directors.

“The GCGRA will create a socially responsible and well-regulated gaming environment, ensuring that all participants adhere to strict guidelines and comply with the highest standards. It will coordinate regulatory activities, manage licensing nationally and facilitate unlocking the economic potential of commercial gaming responsibly,” WAM reported.
