Get in Touch With Us
This is the page for reaching the editorial team behind Online Casinos in UAE. Most messages we get are about one of three things: a review that looks out of date, a withdrawal that has been held up by identity checks, or a question about which payment route actually works from the UAE. Below is how to reach us, what we can help with, and — just as importantly — what we cannot.
Write to us at [email protected]. We read every message and aim to reply within two working days. Include the operator's name, the date, and a screenshot or reference number where one exists; it saves a round trip.
Age and legal note. Real-money gambling content on this site is for adults only. The GCGRA-licensed online product in the UAE is restricted to players aged 21 and over; offshore sites set their own minimum age, commonly 18, and you should check the operator's terms rather than assume. Nothing here is legal or tax advice — consult a qualified professional.
Where we stand on the law before you write to us
A large share of our inbox involves the legal position, so it is worth settling here. The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), established in September 2023, issues UAE commercial gaming licence categories. It has licensed The Game LLC for the national lottery, the land-based commercial gaming licence at Wynn Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah (scheduled to open in September 2027), and Internet Gaming and Sports Wagering licences — with a single online operator authorised to date. A GCGRA-licensed Abu Dhabi live dealer studio has also been reported in connection with that framework.
The licensed online product is geolocation-restricted to players physically inside the UAE and limited to 21 and over. Everything outside that perimeter remains a criminal offence under Federal Decree-Law No. 31 of 2021 (the Crimes and Penalties Law), in force since January 2022. Sources disagree on specific article numbers and penalty figures, so we do not state them. The criminal law is federal and identical in all seven emirates — Dubai is not more permissive than anywhere else.
Every operator we review is licensed offshore, not by the GCGRA. None of them is legal, licensed or approved for play in the UAE. We will not answer emails asking how to get around ISP blocks, geolocation checks, payment blocks or identity verification, and we do not publish that information. Position accurate as of 2026; the framework is new and moving, and our fact-check date for this page is 22 September 2026.
The questions we get most, and how we answer them
- "Is there a no-KYC casino I can use?" — Some offshore sites advertise minimal or deferred verification, particularly crypto-first brands. In practice, verification is usually triggered at withdrawal, on a large win, on a payment-method change, or by a source-of-funds check. Treating "no KYC" as a guarantee is the single most common reason readers end up with a frozen balance. We will explain what an operator's published terms actually say; we will not help anyone avoid checks.
- "My UAE card was declined." — UAE-issued debit and credit cards and domestic bank transfers routinely decline gambling merchant category codes. We can explain which routes readers report using — international e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller, and cryptocurrency including stablecoins — and what the currency conversion costs. Note that every transaction leaves a record.
- "A withdrawal is stuck." — Send the operator, the date requested, the amount, the method and any verification requests you received. We can point you to the casino's complaints procedure and its licensing authority's dispute route. We have no authority over any operator and cannot recover funds.
- "This bonus term isn't what you published." — Terms change without notice. Corrections are our highest-priority inbox category.
- "I want to stop." — See the support section at the foot of this page.
Corrections: the details that let us act quickly
- Name the operator and the page on presidents-nft.com where you saw the claim.
- Tell us what is wrong — a wagering requirement, a withdrawal limit, a licence detail, an Arabic support hour, a payment method that no longer works.
- Attach evidence: a screenshot of the terms page with a visible date, or a copy of a support chat.
- Tell us whether you are a player, an operator representative or an affiliate. It does not change the outcome; it changes who reviews it.
Verified corrections are applied and the page's fact-check date updated. Where a claim cannot be confirmed either way, we label it unresolved rather than pick a side.
How commercial relationships work here
Some links on this site are commercial, and we may earn a commission when a reader opens an account. That never decides ranking or review wording, and no operator sees or approves copy before publication. If you think a review reads as though it were bought, say so in an email and name the passage — we would rather argue it out than leave it.
Operators and agencies should write to the same address with the brand name, operating company and registered address, the licence number and issuing authority, and what they are proposing. We verify licences directly with the issuing body — whether that is the Curacao Gaming Authority, the Anjouan Gaming Board or the Malta Gaming Authority — before anything is listed.
What our reviewed operators are, in brief
The full assessments live on the review pages; this is context for anyone writing to us about one of them. All three below are offshore-licensed and not permitted for UAE play.
AmunRa
It sits top of our table because its published terms are unusually legible: the bonus conditions, the verification triggers and the withdrawal limits are all findable without a support chat, which is why readers writing to us about AmunRa usually have a narrow, factual question rather than a mystery. The welcome offer is a 100% bonus up to $500 plus 200 free spins and 1 Bonus Crab, subject to a minimum qualifying deposit, wagering requirements, a maximum bonus bet cap and an expiry window — read those before depositing, as free spin winnings are typically capped. Assessment for a UAE reader: broad slots and live dealer coverage, and card deposits from UAE banks are the usual friction point rather than the site itself. Limitation: identity verification is required at withdrawal regardless of deposit method, so anyone arriving here expecting to stay anonymous will be disappointed, and Arabic support hours are narrower than the English equivalent.
TikiTaka
Listed for the same reason it draws questions: a straightforward 100% match bonus up to $500 plus 200 free spins with fewer moving parts than the larger packages further down the table, which makes the wagering maths easier to check before you commit. Game contribution differs by category — slots generally count in full, table games far less — so a bonus cleared on blackjack behaves very differently from one cleared on slots. Assessment: suits readers who want a modest first deposit and a short bonus lifecycle rather than a multi-stage package. Limitation: the ceiling is low if you are comparing headline numbers, and readers have asked us about verification requests arriving mid-play rather than at cashout, which is permitted under most offshore terms.
Cleobetra
Here because it is the clearest example on our list of why currency matters: the welcome offer is quoted up to €1,000 plus 350 free spins, and a UAE player funding in dirhams pays conversion on the way in and again on the way out. That double conversion is not a fee the casino advertises. Assessment: a large spin allocation and a deep slots catalogue, with live dealer tables from the major studios. Limitation: the larger the headline package, the more it is usually tiered across several deposits, and cashout limits on bonus winnings apply — check the maximum withdrawal from bonus funds before treating the €1,000 as a real figure.

Money questions we can and cannot settle
We can explain how the mechanics generally work; we cannot quote a figure an operator has not published, and we will not estimate your processing time.
- Getting money in. Minimum deposits vary by brand and by method. Debit and credit cards issued in the UAE and domestic bank transfers commonly decline gambling merchant category codes, which is why e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller and crypto, including stablecoins, dominate reader reports.
- Conversion. The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at roughly 3.67. Because most offshore sites do not hold AED, you convert on deposit and again on withdrawal, plus any wallet or exchange spread. Budget for both ends, not one.
- Getting money out. Withdrawal processing times, daily and monthly withdrawal limits and payment fees are set per operator and per method. Advertised speeds are the operator's claim, not a tested result. KYC and identity verification, and sometimes source-of-funds checks, sit between a withdrawal request and payment.
- Tax. There is no UAE tax on winnings, but home-country obligations may apply to expatriate readers. Consult a qualified professional.
What sits behind the game lobbies
If your email concerns a specific game or a missing category, it helps to say which type. Offshore lobbies typically break down into slots — where return to player and volatility vary widely between titles — progressive jackpots, and live dealer rooms running blackjack, roulette and baccarat. Software providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution, NetEnt, Play'n GO and Microgaming supply most of what you will see, and availability differs by brand and by region. Arabic-language interface quality, right-to-left layout and the presence of Arabic-speaking live dealers are the differentiators we get asked about most from UAE readers, alongside mobile casino performance in-browser versus a dedicated casino app.
Beyond the casino lobby
Most of these operators also run product lines next to the casino. Sports wagering is the main one, and it behaves differently: different bonus structures, different contribution to wagering requirements, and separate limits. Local interest tends to cluster around fixtures such as racing at Meydan Racecourse and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Where a brand runs virtual sports, bingo or a poker room, the terms are usually separate again. Under the UAE framework, sports wagering is a distinct GCGRA licence category from Internet Gaming — the two are not interchangeable, and neither covers offshore operators. Readers looking at accounts outside the UK self-exclusion scheme can compare those separately on our guide to casinos not covered by GamStop.
Support, limits and getting help
If gambling has stopped being a pastime, act before you email us. Every operator we list is required by its licence conditions to offer deposit and loss limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion — use the tools inside the account, since the GCGRA Voluntary Self-Exclusion programme applies to UAE-licensed gaming and does not reach offshore sites. Gambling blocking software on your phone and computer adds a second layer. In the UAE, the Takalam support service offers confidential counselling, and the UAE Responsible Gaming Alliance works on player protection within the licensed framework. Gambling Therapy provides free online support internationally at gamblingtherapy.org. Gambling is not a way to make money or to fix a financial problem, and no site is completely safe.
Before you hit send
One message, one subject, with the operator name in the subject line, reaches the right editor fastest. We answer questions about terms, licensing and process; we do not give legal, tax or financial advice, cannot intervene in a dispute on your behalf, and will not assist with evading verification, geoblocks or payment controls. Everything else — corrections, criticism, a review that reads wrong to you — we want to see. Write to [email protected] and we will come back to you.
