Legal situation in Malta

Gambling in Malta is governed by the Gaming Act (Chapter 583 of the Laws of Malta), which took effect on 1 August 2018, together with subsidiary legislation such as the Gaming Tax Regulations. The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is the single regulator for all forms of gaming, land-based and online. It licenses both operators that serve players directly and business-to-business suppliers, supervises compliance with technical, anti-money-laundering and player-protection rules, and can fine, suspend or cancel licences.

Online casino games, slots, poker and sports betting are all legal when offered under an MGA licence, and Malta is one of the main licensing hubs for operators serving international markets. Licensees must run an internal complaints procedure; if a dispute is not settled, players can turn to the MGA Player Support Unit or an alternative dispute resolution entity. The MGA publishes a Licensee Register and regularly warns that a licence badge on a casino's own site is not proof of authorisation.

Online casino play is legal for players in Malta at operators licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority.

Search the operator's company name or website in the MGA Licensee Register rather than trusting a logo on the site. Operators offer self-exclusion on their own sites, and land-based venues are covered by the Unified Self-Barring System run with the Responsible Gaming Foundation.
