Horse racing and spread betting are the two types of gaming that aren’t licensed in Malta by the MGA. The MGA offers four types of gaming licenses:Ĭlass 1 – a remote gaming licence whereby operators manage their own risk on repetitive games (suitable for casino-type games and online lotteries)Ĭlass 2 – a remote betting licence for sports (fixed-odds) bettingĬlass 3 – a licence to advertise gaming in or from Malta (suitable for poker rooms and peer-to-peer gaming)Ĭlass 4 – a licence to host and manage remote gaming operations (this is essentially a B2B gaming licence) As Malta’s ‘one-stop-shop’ for licensing, it is the MGA’s duty to promote gaming in a safe environment and ensure the integrity of games and devices, while granting licences to providers and creating a regulated environment from which gaming activities, remote or otherwise, can take place.
The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is the regulatory body responsible for all online and land-based gaming in Malta.
