As communicated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) on
20th of October 2021, a series of amendments were
published in regards to the Gaming Authorisations and Compliance
Directive (Directive 3 of 2018) (the "Directive"), in
parallel with a new Policy on the Eligibility and Ongoing
Competency Criteria for Key Persons (the "Eligibility
Policy").
Following this amended Directive and the requirements
established under the newly issued Eligibility Policy, the bar has
also been raised on the expertise and ongoing training and
professional education for Key Function Holders (KFHs). This training has
been placed as fundamental for the proper fulfilment of the
regulated role of a KFH under the Gaming Act.
