Malta’s FIAU Publishes “Intelligence Factsheet” of STRs
The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) of Malta has published its “intelligence factsheet” which provides an overview of “suspicious transaction reports” (STRs) submitted by Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licensees in 2019.
FIAU reported a total of 1445 STRs from 210 MGA licenced operators during 2019, continuing its 100% rise in suspicious transactions registered by its “CASPAR monitoring system” year-on-year trend.
A breakdown of results saw 32% (457 cases) of the total STRs submitted by three companies and a further 35% (498 cases) registered by another five licenced operators, with 72 organisations submitting the remaining 33% (approximately 486) of the STRs.
FIAU reported 741 STR cases related to online gambling for 2020, under which the enforcement unit continues to broaden its CASPAR system’s monitoring capability.
In its factsheet statement the FIAU detailed: “In most of the cases, the FIAU considers it more appropriate to send a spontaneous intelligence report to foreign FIUs rather than to trigger an investigation in Malta on the basis of STRs received from the remote gaming entities.
“Although the FIAU does not open its own in-depth analysis in these cases, the majority result in further dissemination to its foreign counterparts. As a result, information received through these submissions accounted for 35 percent of the total spontaneous intelligence reports shared with foreign FIUs in 2019.”

Blueprint Gaming Lays Out Release Plan for Game of Thrones Slots
Blueprint Gaming has finalized a significant licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences (WBDGE) to create a collection of online slot games inspired by Game of Thrones, one of the most iconic entertainment franchises globally. The agreement encompasses upcoming titles influenced by House of the Dragon, contributing to a long-term strategy of high-quality, IP-driven launches.
The first Game of Thrones game is set to launch in March, with multiple other titles expected to come afterward. Every installment in the series will feature a diverse array of legendary characters, memorable moments, and themes from popular shows, alongside the beloved soundtrack from Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
The initial game in the series features Blueprint’s most popular money-gathering mechanic, along with various base-game modifiers. The free spins round will take participants on an adventure through Westeros while hunting for significant victories, perfectly establishing the atmosphere for the subsequent games in the series.
The fresh collaboration expands on Blueprint Gaming’s established history in creating IP-driven slot games. The studio has a solid history of collaborating with internationally renowned brands, showcasing its capability to maintain brand integrity while adapting significant entertainment properties into captivating and profitable slot experiences.
Charlie Jacka, Head of Product at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Game of Thrones is one of the most significant entertainment brands in the world, and working with an IP of this scale carries a clear responsibility. Our focus has been on creating a game that stays true to the depth and identity of the series, while delivering the engaging gameplay and mechanics operators expect from Blueprint.”
