This marks the first-ever direct-to-consumer regulated lottery offering on a multi-functional ultra app in the UAE, offering a seamless, secure, and user-friendly experience for players.
By leveraging Astra Tech’s operating model, which includes its fintech arm PayBy — licensed by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) — the integration ensures that participants enjoy a fully compliant and responsible gaming experience, in line with UAE regulations.
With this integration, Botim’s users now can purchase tickets for The UAE Lottery’s games without leaving the app, combining entertainment with the full suite of services that the app offers access to.
The UAE Lottery offers multiple game options, including the highly anticipated Lucky Day draw, featuring a grand prize of Dhs100,000,000.
Additionally, players can win from seven Lucky Chance IDs, each guaranteed to award Dhs100,000, or try their luck with scratch cards offering prizes ranging from Dhs50,000 to Dhs1,000,000.
