Local betting landscape
Malta is the European Union's largest licensing hub: the MGA licenses hundreds of operators serving markets across Europe. An MGA licence authorises play in Malta and in countries that accept it; it does not replace a local licence in regulated markets like the UK, Sweden or Germany.

Malta’s Gaming Act 2018 consolidated the MGA’s regime. The licence is respected across Europe for its technical and financial standards, and many operators run their EU businesses from Malta.
What an MGA licence covers
Customers in Malta, and customers in countries that do not regulate online gambling themselves. In a country with its own licensing (the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Italy and others) an operator needs that country’s licence too. Bill 55 of 2023 sought to shield MGA licensees from enforcement of foreign judgments, which has been challenged at EU level.
Rules that matter to players
Minimum age 18. Licensees must offer limits and self-exclusion; the MGA runs a player-support unit for disputes.
Advertising and affiliates
Affiliate marketing is lawful under Maltese law and the MGA expects licensees to control their affiliates.
Tax
Operators pay 5 per cent gaming tax on revenue from Maltese players and an annual compliance contribution. Winnings are untaxed.
