Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Dubai has cautious, digital-first gambling approach

Slow and steady wins the race. For Dubai, a cautious approach towards commercial gambling is aimed at future-proofing the industry and ensuring that a highly-regulated approach benefits both punters and operators, eliminating the grey and black market. Seamless integration between online services and physical experiences will be expected from customers, with a digital-first approach being taken. Looking to the Philippines, Emerald Bay has seen the final nail in its coffin, as the nation’s gaming regulator revoked its provisional casino license, causing any current or future efforts for partnership to crumble, leaving a concrete shell of what was hoped to be a shining IR in Cebu.
