Yolo Group has strengthened its global presence with the acquisition of two iGaming supplier licences in the United Arab Emirates, marking its formal entry into a newly regulated and rapidly emerging market. The approvals, granted to Hub88 Holdings and Live Online Gaming Services, enable Yolo to offer aggregation, slot content, and live studio experiences through a fully integrated ecosystem.
Lara Falzon, CEO of Yolo Group’s B2B operations, stated that the company’s “all-in” approach combines innovation, compliance, and local alignment to deliver safe and engaging entertainment experiences. With a live studio in Abu Dhabi nearing completion, Yolo is preparing to go live as early as this month leveraging a crucial first-mover advantage to establish its local footprint ahead of competitors.
This expansion represents more than commercial opportunity; it is a defining moment that elevates Yolo’s credibility and marks its full transition toward regulated operations. The UAE’s transparent and forward-thinking regulatory process has allowed for constructive collaboration, positioning the region as a model for future iGaming governance.
Yolo Group plans to use the UAE as a testing ground for localisation, product innovation, and AI-driven personalisation. By treating the market as a “live lab,” the company aims to identify player preferences and deliver experiences that combine global standards with local relevance.
With a commitment to responsible innovation, Yolo’s move into the UAE sets a new standard for regulated iGaming growth.
