The MGA - Malta's Authority for Gambling
The MGA—Malta’s Authority for Gambling—has taken further steps to safeguard players. Malta provides a licencing body for online websites offering casinos, betting, and online lottery. Applying for a casino license comes with strict regulations and legislation, which the MGA audits.
Unlicenced Websites operating under false pretenses
Consumers have been urged to check if the website they are visiting and signing up for has a valid MGA license. Several undisclosed operators have been operating since 2023 without the MGA confirming the official partnership. Most displayed an image with a fake or no license on their site.
Which Information is displayed on an MGA licence?
