MGA: Update to Process for Addition of New Game Provider/s
The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) would like to notify all Licensees of some changes to the addition of new Game Providers notification process. As from 1 August 2024, notifications of new Game Providers, submitted through the Licensee Portal via a ‘Technical – Change in Game Type/Provider’ application, need to be accompanied by the below documentation/information:
- The updated Key Technical setup and Essential Components documentation*.
- The updated Specifications of the Gaming System documentation*.
- A Declaration provided by a Key Person or a Director of the Licensee covering the following requirements:
- The formal name of the Game Provider, and the respective Authorisation Number (Licence Number/Recognition Notice Certificate Reference Number);
- The Services being offered by the Game Provider, including the Game Types and Verticals pertaining to the new games being offered;
- Any Jackpot details, including the type of jackpot that shall be offered, and the relevant jackpot policy if applicable;
- A confirmation that any relevant documentation has been updated, including the Business Risk Assessment (if applicable).**
If the Licensee shall be integrating with various Game Providers, a separate Declaration per Game Provider would need to be submitted, by uploading the various Declarations in the Enclosures page within the same application. The Declaration/s should also include any further pertinent information to be notified to the Authority. If the above information is not included within the application, such an application shall be deemed to be incomplete, and will be set to a one-time ‘Incomplete’ status. Following this, unless the application is fully submitted within sixty (60) days, it will be closed off automatically and the Authority would not be able to process the new Game Provider/s.
Although the agreement(s) between the Licensee and the Game Providers are not required when a Declaration is submitted, the Authority shall still reserve the right to request the agreement(s) between the parties, if and when deemed necessary.
* If the integration with the third-party game provider(s) does not necessitate any changes to the technical documentation or to the gaming system specifications, the Licensee can submit a declaration attesting that no changes to the mentioned documentation will be required.
** In line with the Implementing Procedures, the Licensee is reminded to update the Business Risk Assessment whenever new game providers are added, based on the risk exposure, to determine how any additional related risks can be mitigated to an acceptable level following the integration.

Vixio Supports NCPG in Groundbreaking Responsible Gambling Review of US Sports Betting Regulations
A first-of-its-kind comparative analysis state-by-state, the report evaluates states’ regulations against NCPG standards
Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions and research services, is proud to support the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) by producing a groundbreaking research report that cross-references states’ online sports betting regulations against NCPG’s Internet Responsible Gambling Standards (IRGS).
The new report involved a thorough analysis of the applicable laws, regulations and standards of every U.S. state with legal mobile sports betting in order to assess how closely their formal regulatory requirements align with the independent best practices recommended by the IRGS.
Keith Whyte, NCPG Executive Director, explains, “Partnering with Vixio Regulatory Intelligence on this landmark evaluation allowed for NCPG to highlight both the progress made and the critical gaps that remain in the alignment of state sports betting regulations with NCPG’s player protection standards. The report offers a comprehensive framework for states seeking to improve consumer safeguards and promote responsible gambling.”
Vixio Chief Analyst James Kilsby joined NCPG experts for a webinar to digest the report on September 24. Kislby will also be moderating a panel at G2E Vegas on U.S. sports betting’s ever-changing regulatory landscape.
“At Vixio Regulatory Intelligence, we are committed to providing independent, data-driven insights and research that help regulators and policymakers make informed decisions,” Kilsby said. “We’re proud to partner with the National Council on Problem Gambling to drive positive regulatory changes and ensure player protection remains a top priority in this evolving industry.”
The report analysed jurisdictions that offered legal mobile sports wagering as of June 2024, comprising 30 different states and the District of Columbia.
As required by Peruvian law, international iGaming holding company PIN-UP Global intends to license its software and find a partner company.
In the context of changes in the regulation of the iGaming market in Peru, PIN-UP Global initiated the process of licensing its products and searching for licensed partners, notifying the government authorities. For the period it will take to enter the Peruvian market under the new legislation with a future partner, the holding company officially prohibits the use of PIN-UP products and brand in the region.
For the holding company, this is a consistent continuation of its journey into the B2B market, which opens up new opportunities for partnerships and will allow to provide a better user experience with PIN-UP platforms. The main objective of the holding company is to conduct efficient and transparent operations in all markets, relying on the legislation of each jurisdiction.
Recall that earlier PIN-UP Global updated the list of countries in which the use of the brand and its products is prohibited. PIN-UP as the leader of the iGaming market makes such strategic decisions taking care of its reputation and complying with the principles of responsible gaming.
