The exponential growth of the Malta gaming industry over the past 16 years
is, without doubt, a strength for the island of Malta. It was 2004
when the then 'LGA – Lotteries & Gaming
Authority' and Maltese government enacted sector-specific
iGaming regulations catering for a wide range of game classes
including business to consumer licences for Casino, Sportsbook and
Poker as well as a business to business class covering platform and
managed services.
Fast forward 16 years and Malta has undoubtedly moved from
strength to strength in establishing itself as THE 'de
facto' leader of its class in iGaming regulation and innovation
worldwide. Like any industry riding the upwards growth curve,
iGaming companies in Malta flourished, thousands of ex-pats sought
to work on the island and Malta became the envy of the EU.
