About Malta Gaming Authority
If you see this logo in any online casino, its license was issued by Malta Gaming Authority, often abbreviated as MGA.
It regulates all forms of gambling in Malta, including:
- casinos,
- poker rooms,
- bingo halls,
- national and other lotteries,
- bookmakers,
- online resources engaged in such activities.
Today, more than five hundred different gambling clubs operate under the Malta license.
The primary mission of MGA is the following:
...to regulate various sectors of the world of gambling and lotteries, which are subject to the department's authority, providing all players with the fairness and transparency of gambling, preventing crimes, corruption, and money laundering, as well as protecting small and vulnerable players.
The council headed by Nicholas Xuereb manages Malta Gaming Authority. Since it is a government body, all five members of the Board are appointed by the Minister of Finance for a term of no more than three years. MGA controls its strategic development and monitors compliance with the standards.
The legal address of Malta Gaming Authority, the list of casinos it has issued licenses to, the board members, and other detailed information about this department can be found on its official website: www.mga.org.mt.
