The Malta Gaming Authority recently named and warned lavbet321.com and kasinoseta.com for posing as MGA licensed operators without actual authorization. The Authority reminds players that such unlicensed platforms pose significant risks, lacking consumer protection mechanisms and potentially leading to financial losses. It is advised to verify credentials through the official registry before use. More detailed compliance guidelines are available on the PASA official website.
Unlicensed Website Risk Warning
The MGA emphasizes that these unauthorized platforms do not adhere to the strict standards that ensure player safety, fair gaming, and responsible gambling. Players patronizing these sites not only miss out on legal consumer protection but may also face fraud and financial losses, as they are not under Maltese jurisdiction. The Authority also provides a public registry of licensed operators for easy verification.
Self-Assessment Tool Launch
In addition to warning about unlicensed sites, the MGA launched a self-assessment tool last October to help players evaluate their gambling habits. Developed in collaboration with Caritas Malta, Sedqa, and other organizations, this tool helps identify early signs of problematic gambling and guides those in need to professional support services.
Future Regulatory Focus
Looking ahead to 2025, the MGA has prioritized protecting players, enhancing regulation, and combating unlicensed activities. They reaffirm their commitment to closely monitor the growth of unlicensed online gambling platforms, ensuring that licensed operators comply with the highest standards of consumer protection and responsible gambling practices, thus maintaining a healthy industry environment.
