MGA Licensed Casinos

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), formerly the Lotteries and Gaming Authority, is the official government department responsible for regulating all forms of gambling in Malta. This includes land-based and online gambling, betting offices, slot machines, fantasy sports, online sports betting, and lotteries. The MGA also issues licenses for B2B and B2C services operated in Malta.

It was founded in 2001 as an answer to the online gambling boom in Malta. The small island country is one of the most gambling-active countries in Europe. The MGA ensures fairness and transparency to players that use gaming services as well as preventing crime, money laundering, and corruption in these sectors.

MGA issues licenses to interested parties, and its presence in Malta has helped online gambling grow tremendously in the past few decades.

• Its activities include:
• Protection of minors and vulnerable players from the dangers of gambling;
• Monitoring of activities to keep gaming free from criminal activities;
• Licensing and regulation of gaming operators;
• Monitoring of licensee’s activities to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations;
• Protection of players funds;
• Safeguarding of player rights.

The MGA is widely regarded as one of the top gaming licenses in the industry beside the UKGC. It’s fair to say that casinos that own this license are 100% legit to operate.
