The online gambling sector in Malta has grown tremendously since 2001, with the industry generating over 12% of the country's GDP. A comprehensive set of legislation, regulations and directives regulate the industry, starting with Lotteries and Other Games Act, 2001, and Chapters 438 and 400 of the Laws of Malta. The MGA was one of the first regulators to offer legislation that regulates the activity of online gambling companies and create a secure atmosphere for players.
The MGA was established in 2001 to regulate the various sectors of the gaming industry that fall under the MGA's authority, by ensuring fairness transparency to players using gaming services, preventing crime, corruption and money laundering and to protect minor and vulnerable players. It regulates most forms of gambling in its territory, including both land-based ( casino, amusement and slot machines, betting offices, fantasy sports, and lotteries) and online gambling services including B2C and B2B services. The Malta Gaming Authority ( MGA) (formerly the Lotteries and Gaming Authority) ( LGA) is the gaming control board of Malta.
