UAE Lottery Operator Partners with Napier AI to Boost Financial Crime Controls
The Game LLC, operator of the United Arab Emirates’ first federally licensed lottery, has implemented Napier AI’s client screening technology to strengthen anti-financial crime measures and improve regulatory compliance across its gaming operations.
Strengthening Compliance Across the UAE Lottery
The Game LLC partnered with London-based RegTech provider Napier AI following a strategic review of its compliance systems. The company has deployed Napier AI Client Screening, a solution that performs advanced checks for politically exposed persons (PEPs), sanctions, and adverse media during customer onboarding. The move is designed to ensure that no high-risk individuals or entities gain access to lottery services.
By integrating this technology, The Game reinforces its commitment to responsible gaming and operational transparency. The initiative aligns with the UAE’s growing emphasis on compliance and integrity within its developing gaming and fintech sectors.
