Partnering with Mindflow to launch in the UAE
Oddsgate is in a new phase of global expansion, entering the United Arab Emirates (UAE) market through a strategic partnership with Mindflow’s local subsidiary.
The agreement foresees the launch of new casino and sports betting brands by the end of 2025, covering Oddsgate’s entire proprietary offering.
A Dubai-based senior team, backed by a multi-million-dollar investment and operating under Mindflow’s licenses, will manage the new brands with extensive experience in regulated markets worldwide.
MENASA: A Gateway to High-Growth Markets
The UAE serves as a strategic gateway to the MENASA (Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia) region, with access to a population of more than 2.2 billion people.
Oddsgate sees this move as key to scaling its modular, GLI-certified platform across emerging and regulated markets.
"This partnership it’s about building meaningful synergies in a region that’s actively shaping the future of digital entertainment. Mindflow brings strong local insight and shares our vision of scalable, innovation-led growth. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for sustainable brand building and rapid market entry.", says Gabi Pitileac, Chief Commercial Officer at Oddsgate.
Mindflow: From Automation to iGaming Innovation
Mindflow’s UAE team, known for leading digital innovation projects across MENASA, now ventures into iGaming with a unique proposition. The company emphasizes the strategic significance of this move:
“This is more than a distribution agreement—it’s a convergence of technological leadership. Oddsgate’s robust and regulatory-ready platform enables us to deliver next-generation digital entertainment confidently. Combining our automation and orchestration capabilities with Oddsgate’s deep gaming and platform solutions expertise will create a differentiated offering in the region. Together, we’re reshaping the regional landscape,” a Mindflow spokesperson said.
A developing Market
In September 2023, the UAE established the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), signaling its intention to regulate commercial gaming and lotteries responsibly.
The entry of global giants such as Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts reinforces the region’s appeal as a new center for the global gaming industry. The UAE gaming market is estimated to reach between USD 3 and 5 billion in the coming years.
Dubai: A Commitment to Innovation
Dubai stands out as a tech-forward ecosystem, and recent initiatives like the “Gaming Visa” accentuate the government’s commitment to attracting global talent and positioning the UAE as a leader in the industry.
After a strong performance in the Brazilian market, where it plans to consolidate its position, and its intent to dive deeper into the LATAM market, with this partnership in UAE, Oddsgate will be consolidating its global presence.
