Malta is a major online-gambling licensing jurisdiction supervised by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The MGA’s licence and URL checker, dynamic seal and enforcement register are the key sources for confirming whether a company and domain are currently authorised. An MGA logo alone is not proof. This guide explains licence checks, payments, complaints and safer-gambling tools.

Online gambling and Malta

The MGA licenses business-to-consumer gaming services under the Gaming Act and related regulations. Authorisation is tied to the legal company, approved services and URLs. A licence can be suspended, cancelled or surrendered, so verify current status instead of relying on copied certificates or historic claims.

Verify before depositing

  • Search the legal company or URL in the MGA Licensee Register.
  • Open the dynamic seal and compare the approved domain and services.
  • Check the Enforcement Register and unauthorised-URL warnings.
  • Match the payment beneficiary and avoid mirrors or unofficial apps.

Payments and complaints

Use a payment method in your own name and keep statements, wagers and messages. Read identity, bonus and withdrawal terms first. Licensed operators must maintain a complaint process and identify an alternative dispute-resolution body. Complain to the operator, then use the ADR or MGA player route as appropriate. Contact the bank immediately if fraud is suspected.

Responsible gambling

MGA licensees must provide limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and clear support information. Set limits before play, never borrow and do not chase losses.

Information checked in September 2026. Confirm current MGA authorisation before play.
