Online casino

Malta is the reference jurisdiction for online casinos.

The MGA regulator issues licenses B2C (Gaming Service) and B2B (Critical Gaming Supply) with content classification: Type 1 (RNG-casino/lotteries), Type 2 (betting/fixed bets), Type 3 (P2P - poker, bingo, pools), Type 4 (controlled skill games).

"Fit & proper" checks, minimum capital, segregation of customer funds, assignment of key functions (AML, RG, risk, technical control), RNG/RTP technical certification, system and financial audits, incident reporting and cybersecurity are required.

For players - KYC/AML verification, limits, timeouts/self-exclusions, transparent bonuses and dispute resolution procedures (ADRs).

The Maltese license is widely recognized, but does not replace local tolerances: operators need compliance with national rules to work in specific countries.

The market is focused on international distribution, a high standard of responsibility and technological maturity of platforms.
