Culture and history
Malta's gambling trajectory began with a focus on exporting digital services and a supportive business environment.
The early creation of a specialized regulator and the unification of rules attracted B2C operators and B2B suppliers from all over Europe.
Gradually, an industry with its own "compliance culture" was formed around licenses: transparent processes, regular audits, personnel training (lawyers, AML/RG specialists, technical experts).
In society, iGaming is perceived as a technological export sector along with fintech and IT; events, conferences and professional communities support the exchange of experience and the influx of talent.
So Malta has evolved from a "hosting island" to a mature ecosystem with a reputation as one of the most reliable regulatory hubs in the world.
