For centuries, Malta has been a meeting point for cultures and commerce in the Mediterranean. Today, it plays an equally pivotal role in the iGaming sector. Supervised by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the jurisdiction has developed one of the most respected licensing frameworks in the world.

    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q1: What are the game certification requirements under the MGA?

    The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) requires all games to be independently certified before launch. Certification covers RNG testing for fairness, RTP validation to confirm payout accuracy, and functional checks to ensure rules, features, and payouts work as intended. Games must also display rules and RTPs clearly for players, and any updates must be re-certified. Gaming Associates, as an MGA-approved lab, carries out these certifications and issues the reports needed for regulatory approval.

    Q2: What reporting obligations do MGA-licensed operators have?

    Operators must generate and maintain detailed regulatory reports covering bets, wins, balances, and transactions. These must be accurate, tamper-proof, and readily available to the MGA for inspection.

    Q3: What player protection measures does the MGA require?

    The Malta Gaming Authority requires operators to offer strong player protection tools. These include mandatory deposit, wager, and session limits that players can set themselves, a comprehensive self-exclusion
    system covering all games and platforms, and full transparency of game rules and Return to Player (RTP) percentages. These measures are designed to minimize gambling harm and promote responsible play.
    Gaming Associates independently verifies that these protections are correctly implemented. We test self-exclusion systems, validate limit-setting functions, and review transparency features, ensuring operators fully comply with the MGA’s responsible gaming standards.

    Q4: Can licensees in Malta use custom tokens on their gaming platforms?

    Yes. Under the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) framework, licensees may issue and sell custom tokens on their own platforms for use in gameplay, provided these tokens cannot be withdrawn or traded externally. All withdrawals must be made in fiat currency, converted on the licensee’s platform at the same exchange rate at which the tokens were acquired.

    Gaming Associates supports Malta-licensed operators by testing and certifying gaming systems that incorporate custom token functionality, ensuring full compliance with MGA’s technical, security, and fair play standards.
