Dubai: The gaming sector within the Middle East has surged, with the highest gaming penetration – over 60 percent of the population are game enthusiasts. According to a report by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, the industry is predicted to reach a $6 billion valuation by 2027, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE spearheading this increase.
At the forefront of this evolution, True Gamers, UAE-based esteemed esports clubs network, has already established six clubs in Dubai, with a significant investment of $45 million to develop over 150 clubs across Saudi Arabia. Additionally, True Gamers is gearing up for further expansion, with plans to open new branches in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah within the next few months. This strategic expansion is not just about providing state-of-the-art gaming facilities but also creating a nurturing ecosystem for gaming content creators to thrive.
The content creator economy in the Middle East underscores a pivotal shift towards authentic digital marketing strategies, with nano and micro-influencers and user-generated content (UGC) playing crucial roles. This trend signals a growing demand for a supportive ecosystem that caters to the aspirations of gaming content creators, values creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
In response to this evolving landscape, True Gamers and Takefluence are launching an ambassador program specifically designed for the gaming community. This initiative aims to harness the potential of gaming enthusiasts and content creators, offering them a platform to showcase their creativity, engage with a wider audience, and ultimately, transform their passion for gaming into rewarding opportunities.

As the digital landscape evolves, collaborations like this are crucial in driving the growth of the eGaming and content creator economies, offering new opportunities for creators and brands alike,” Archie Rudyuk, CEO and Co-Founder of Takefluence.
The collaboration between True Gamers and Takefluence marks the beginning of a new chapter in the eGaming content creation narrative in the Middle East. It is a call to action for creators to leverage their skills, embrace new opportunities, and be at the forefront of the digital revolution in the gaming world. With the support of this groundbreaking initiative, the region’s gaming content creators are set to embark on a journey of growth, discovery, and unparalleled success.
