About Advanced Digital Gaming Technology
Advanced Digital Gaming Technology (ADGT) is a newly established payments and data intelligence technology platform launched from the United Arab Emirates. The company was founded in March 2026 by CEO Michael Dominelli through a strategic partnership between Blackstone, Abu Dhabi-based investment company Raya Holding, and technology partners NRT Technology and Sightline Payments. This collaboration resulted in a unicorn valuation of around USD 1 billion from its inception, backed by a significant USD 250 million investment from Blackstone.

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, ADGT provides a B2B infrastructure that connects a player's funds to regulated gaming operators. The platform is designed to offer integrated financial infrastructure which includes digital wallets, real-time funding and payout systems, identity management, and compliance monitoring within a single interoperable framework. It supports both closed-loop and open-loop ecosystems, enabling unified transactions across physical (land-based) and online digital platforms. This positions ADGT as the only licensed platform in the UAE capable of contracting directly with both types of venues.
The company's business model is centered on providing premier payments and compliance technology to the commercial gaming market. It aims to capitalize on the UAE's position as a burgeoning global leader in travel and leisure, with a growing strength in technology. ADGT's initial focus is on deployments across the UAE, the broader Middle East, Africa, and select international markets. The platform is structured to be a new global standard for financial payments technology, built with resilience and scalability to support the evolution of regulated digital markets worldwide.
