Xpoint to Provide Geolocation Technology for UAE Lottery Operations

Partnership to Ensure Full Regulatory Compliance

Geolocation and compliance technology company Xpoint has partnered with The Game LLC, operator of The UAE Lottery, to deliver geolocation services in accordance with the country’s regulatory standards. The solution will ensure that all participants access the lottery within approved locations, reflecting the approach taken by regulators in the U.S. market.

Xpoint’s services are licensed by the UAE’s General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), which has issued detailed geolocation and data handling requirements for operators. The company’s systems are built to support high player volumes while maintaining compliance with these rules.

Enforcing Exclusion Zones and Local Data Requirements

A key feature of the partnership includes the enforcement of exclusion zones mandated by regulators. Xpoint’s technology ensures that individuals located in restricted areas are automatically prevented from participating in the lottery, upholding the integrity of the service.

Bishop Woosley, Director of Lottery Operations at The Game LLC, explained that data handling was also a central factor in selecting Xpoint.

“Engaging with Xpoint ensures that The UAE Lottery meets the country’s stringent data requirements. By utilizing a private cloud, all data remains on UAE soil, aligning with local regulations and ensuring the highest level of data security.”

Confidence in Xpoint’s Platform

Leadership from both organizations emphasized the reliability and compliance focus of the collaboration.

“We are thrilled to be the geolocation provider for The Game LLC and The UAE Lottery. This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering the most accurate and reliable geolocation services, ensuring compliance with the UAE’s regulatory framework”, said Manu Gambhir, CEO of Xpoint.

“The Game LLC’s decision to implement our geolocation technology highlights the robustness and reliability of our platform. We look forward to supporting The Game’s UAE Lottery services by providing a secure and compliant lottery experience for its players”, added Ed Bedrosian, Chief Compliance and Regulatory Officer at Xpoint.
