The Malta-Alderney MOU - Is It A Game-Changer?

Following the announcement of the signature of a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding between Malta and Alderney between the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) on the 9th October 2013, several operators await further details about the MoU with some anticipation. This MoU complements the previous MoUs signed by the LGA with Denmark, Jersey and the Isle of Man, besides other bodes such as FIFA and the International Olympic Committee.

According to the press announcement on the LGA's website, "This MoU will provide a formal basis and framework for cooperation between the two jurisdictions, including for the exchange of information and investigative assistance of providers and remote gaming services. The MoU also addresses issues such as reciprocal server location, cloud regulation, the recognition of national certification bodies and player liquidity."
