Play971, the UAE’s first licensed sports wagering and iGaming platform, has launched access for UAE-based football fans to legally place wagers on upcoming international football matches.
The platform, regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, is open to users aged 21 and above and can be accessed via both mobile and desktop browsers.
Play971, operated by Coin Technology Projects LLC, offers sports wagering on international fixtures across major sports leagues, as well as regional and local events, including UAE football and horse racing.
Play971 also features casino-style games and live dealer games streamed from a General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority-licensed studio in Abu Dhabi.
Philippa Bowland, Commercial Director for iGaming at Play971, said the platform was designed specifically for sports fans, offering match and player markets, tournament-themed games, and a streamlined tournament page.
“The UAE is home to some of the most passionate and engaged sports fans in the world. For the first time, a locally rooted platform like Play971 adds a new layer to the sports experience – making it possible for fans to play sustainably, rally behind their teams, and enjoy major football moments together,” Bowland said.
