Hub88, Live88 and Onetouch.io can now provide B2B gaming services within the UAE territory.

Key Points

Hub88 Holdings and Online Gaming Services from Yolo Group obtained vendor permits for UAE gaming.
These companies follow Aristocrat, Novomatic and IGT into the regulated marketplace.

Gaming regulator GCGRA granted vendor permits to two companies under Yolo Group ownership. Hub88 Holdings and Online Gaming Services received these permits yesterday. Live88 and Onetouch.io operate under Online Gaming Services. Both companies can now supply B2B gaming content in the UAE’s legal market.

Wynn Resorts Leads with $2 Billion Casino Project

Many operators and suppliers already hold UAE permits alongside Yolo Group. Wynn Resorts put forth its $2bn casino resort project in 2022. GCGRA was formed after this announcement. Wynn only got its gaming permit in October, though. The Game LLC became the first permit holder in the region. This company runs the UAE Lottery. The lottery started operations in November.

Aristocrat secured the first supplier permit in October 2024. Novomatic, IGT, Scientific Games and Light & Wonder entered afterwards. Pollard Banknote joined the market recently. Live88 became the first online live casino studio with UAE permits.

Yolo Group Expands into the UAE with a Strong Commitment to Regulation and Innovation

Tim Heath founded Yolo Group and shared his thoughts. “Getting these permits in the UAE means more than meeting regulations. We want to show our commitment. Yolo Group builds gaming’s future through trust and transparency. We create world-class innovations, too. UAE shows how modern, regulated gaming should work. We feel proud to join this journey.”

Crypto forms another part of Yolo Group’s business model. The company added MiCA-compliant crypto payments at Bombay Club. This land-based casino operates in Tallinn, Estonia. Yolo Group discussed crypto’s gaming market impact in Trafficology before.
