B2C gaming licence in Malta

About This Company

On closing, the buyer holds a Maltese company with a B2C gaming licence. The Malta Gaming Authority in Kalkara supervises this Gaming Service licence under the Gaming Act, in force from 2018-08-01. Before signing, the buyer checks the MGA Licensee Register by company name or authorization reference to confirm an Active status. That public register displays the corporate legal name, company registration number, registered address, approved game types from Types 1 to 4, and authorized brand URLs. Scope covers online gaming and betting for players, whereas Critical Gaming Supply covers B2B operations. This authorisation is domestic and it does not passport. Annual supervisory dues require EUR 25,000, or EUR 10,000 if restricted solely to Type 4 controlled skill games, plus a tiered compliance contribution and 5% gaming tax on Maltese player revenue. Under Directive 3 of 2018 art. 37(2)(a) and the September 2023 MGA guidance, any acquisition of 10% or more of equity, voting rights, or control must be notified within 3 working days. A full corporate change filing via LRMS follows within 30 days alongside a EUR 1,500 fee. Regulators assess source of funds for all new qualifying shareholders and can order the licensee to revert to the status quo ante under art. 37(2)(a).
