Gaming
Malta is one of the first European jurisdictions to regulate online gaming. Nowadays, it has established itself as a global leader in the industry and offers gaming operators a clear and well-structured regulatory framework, attractive tax incentives and a highly skilled workforce which thrives within an eco-system built over more than 20 years of industry experience.
The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is an independent regulatory authority set up under the Gaming Act to oversee the licensing of operators and their compliance with regulation. Alongside supporting innovation and industry stability, it ensures player protection and responsible gaming.
In this regard, FFF Legal provides a wide range of legal services to gaming operators, software providers, affiliates, and investors navigating Malta’s dynamic gaming sector.
