MGA Casino Sites in Canada

Malta Gaming Authority license is the license issued by the MGA to an online casino or a sports betting site (or a land based facility, depending on the situation!) in order to enable the operator of the site to provide gaming services to residents of a certain jurisdiction. 

The MGA license is one of the best in the industry, since MGA takes its work seriously, and follows strict rules when choosing candidates.

However, getting the MGA license is hard, because there are many requirements and restrictions, a long term testing process, and it is also costly.

This is why smaller companies are not recommended seeking MGA license approval; they are not likely to meet the technical requirements in the first place. 

If the online parlour has managed to get an MGA license, this is a sign of decent quality and proper customer service.

In Malta, online parlours are basically not allowed unless they are licensed; the same applies to land based casinos and betting facilities. 

As for legal regulations of the MGA towards online parlours, MGA has three important legal foundations to pursue the authority’s goals and values. The foundations are Responsible Gaming Foundation, GamingMalta, and European Gaming Institute of Malta. These three institutions focus on different aspects of the gaming industry in the country and abroad, to ensure that the niche is fair and transparent. 

Malta has a well-developed legislative framework for the gaming industry. The framework includes Gaming Act, 2018 – Chapter 583 of the Laws of Malta, regulations by the Minister responsible for the Malta Gaming Authority, and Directives and legal instruments to be used in different cases. 

This well-developed framework makes Malta Gaming Authority one of the most reliable and effective regulators in the niche, on the global level.
