Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is the primary regulator of the gaming industry in Malta, established by the Maltese government in 2001. The MGA is responsible for regulating all forms of gaming in Malta, including online gaming, land-based casinos, and slot machines, with the goal of ensuring that all gaming activities in Malta are conducted fairly, securely, and with integrity.

The MGA monitors all gaming operators in Malta to ensure they comply with the regulations of their license agreements, as well as with the laws of the country. This includes verifying that operators are not involved in fraudulent activities and that all gaming activities are conducted transparently and with the highest standards of protection and security. The MGA places particular emphasis on ensuring that gambling vendors provide secure systems that operate in a fair and transparent manner.

In addition to regulating gaming activities, the MGA is committed to promoting responsible gaming. The organisation provides educational materials and resources to help players understand how to gamble safely, identify and avoid the risks associated with gambling, and manage gambling-related issues such as compulsive gambling and addiction. This comprehensive approach demonstrates the MGA’s commitment to ensuring that gaming is conducted responsibly and that players are protected.
