    Malta Gaming Authority Licenses

    The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) offers two licenses:

    1. A business-to-consumer (B2C) license to provide a gaming service
    2. A business-to-business (B2B) license to provide a critical gaming supply

    A ‘gaming service’ license will allow the operator to offer, provide or operate games whereby players may participate. This refers to customer-facing interfaces such as online casinos.

    On the other hand, a ‘critical gaming supply’ is the actual provision of software that’s used to generate or determine the outcome of a game, an indispensable component of the processing, and/or the management of essential regulatory data. This is the sort of license that’s applied for by game providers or game platforms.

    With a B2C license, the applying entity must choose between 4 Classes:

    • Type 1 regulates games where operators must manage their own risk on repetitive games. For example, casino games and online lotteries.
    • Type 2 regulates games where operators must manage their own risk on events based on a matchbook. For example, fixed odds betting, pool betting and spread betting.
    • Type 3 regulates games where operators take commission from promoting or abetting games. For example, P2P gaming and poker networks.
    • Type 4 refers to controlled skill games as per regulation 8 of the Gaming Authorizations Regulations. Controlled skill games are those which, according to the Authority, require additional regulatory supervision because of greater risks they pose to consumers.

    Type 1, 2 and 3 can also be combined with a Type 4 license.
