The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is enhancing its regulatory oversight and outlining supervisory priorities for 2025. The priorities are aimed at improving supervision of the online gaming sector, including online casinos and promoting transparency.  

The existing risk-based framework will evolve into a more evidence-driven, outcomes-focused model. The MGA says that this will enable better assessment of industry risks and more effective resource allocation. 

MGA to use Key Themes Within Strategic Support 

There are a number of key themes within the enhanced oversight strategy, which include compliance, player protection, and sports betting integrity. 

One of the aims is to use this strategic approach to uphold high industry standards and reinforce the MGA's role as a trusted regulator.  

The MGA has also identified some of the key outcomes, like risk-based resource allocation and enhanced collaboration, where the MGA works closely with operators to promote compliance and best practices. 

Finally, proactive risk management will address emerging challenges in the gaming landscape. 

Overall, the MGA's refined regulatory approach seeks to strengthen the online gaming sector's resilience, protect player interests, and increase stakeholder confidence in a well-regulated industry.
