MGA to Host Annual GREF Conference
The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has announced that it will be hosting the Annual Conference of the Gambling Regulators European Forum (GREF) in Malta this year.
Taking place between 20-22 May, the prestigious event is set to bring together over 90 representatives from 35 member states to engage in insightful discussions, exchange expertise and cooperate on emerging trends and challenges within the gaming sector.
Kinga Warda, Chief Officer for Policy and International Affairs at MGA, said: “We are honoured to be chosen as the host for the upcoming annual conference of GREF. This event presents a unique platform for regulators to come together, exchange knowledge, and collectively address the evolving challenges within our industry.
“We look forward to welcoming esteemed regulators from across Europe to Malta, as we strive to further strengthen collaboration and drive regulatory excellence.”
Established in 1989, GREF facilitates constructive dialogue among regulators, representing diverse perspectives, while also acting as a central point of contact for authorities and related organisations seeking insights from European gaming regulators.
Back in 2016, the MGA had organised a successful joint conference for GREF and the International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA). The conference united advisors and regulators from various global gaming spheres, offering a valuable platform for operators, suppliers, lawyers, investors, regulators and other advisors to convene and discuss critical industry challenges.

Businesses can now obtain licenses for organising and conducting gambling activities online through the Diia portal, without paper documents or in-person interaction with the state, according to a statement by PlayCity, the state agency regulating Ukraine’s gambling and lottery market.
According to the release, applications can be generated in the Diia electronic cabinet and signed using a qualified electronic signature (QES). Some data will be automatically retrieved from state registries, including information about the company, its owners and beneficiaries.
PlayCity will review submitted applications, and applicants will receive decisions on license issuance or refusal online via Diia.
Companies will be able to apply for licenses covering casino operations, bookmaking, slot machine halls, online poker, as well as B2B services in the gambling sector.
Acting Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Borniakov said on Telegram that the ministry, together with PlayCity, has also prepared amendments to sector-specific legislation aimed at strengthening entry checks for companies in terms of reputation, integrity, ownership structure and absence of ties to the aggressor state.
“Our goal is to create a transparent and controlled market in which digital tools ensure both convenience for businesses and trust in the state,” Borniakov said.
