Compliance Updates
MGA: Updated Non-Profit Tombola and Lottery Application Requirements
The Malta Gaming Authority has published updated documents outlining the application process and requirements. This includes the revised list of documents required as enclosures with the application for the Non-Profit Tombola, as well as for the Non-Profit Lotteries, which can also be found in the “documents” section on the permits application page.
The revised documents include more detail on the application process, what the Non-Profit Lottery Terms should consist of, as well as a detailed list of enclosure documents.
Although applicants are urged to refer to the revised requirements at the earliest, these requirements will come into force from 1 May 2024. Hence, any applications submitted following this date will need to abide by the revised requirements. Any applications submitted after 1 May 2024, which are not submitted in full and do not include the proof of payment or the signed declaration, will be set to a one-time “Incomplete” mode for sixty (60) days. If the application is not resubmitted in full, whereby any missing sections and/or documents are filled in and/or uploaded successfully within this period, the application will be rejected and will be closed off. Applications submitted or re-submitted less than seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the tombola session/s will incur the additional twenty-five Euro (€25) non-refundable late application fee.
The Non-Profit Tombola and the Non-Profit Lottery Permits will only be issued upon successful review of the application. Sale of lottery tickets or Tombola sessions cannot be held without the relevant Permit.

Aviator Studio Brazil has won two consecutive decisions in São Paulo rejecting SPRIBE’s request for an injunction aimed at stopping its operations, according to the company.
The latest ruling came from the São Paulo Court of Appeals (2nd Reserved Chamber of Business Law) on 16 April. The court declined to grant urgent relief and allowed Aviator Studio Brazil to continue operating with partners including Foggo Entertainment (Blaze) while the broader AVIATOR trademark dispute proceeds through the judicial process.
In its decision, the Court of Appeals cited three points highlighted by Aviator Studio Brazil: controversy over SPRIBE’s claimed exclusive rights to the “AVIATOR” trademark, no showing of imminent or irreparable harm, and the fact that Aviator Studio Brazil is operating under a licence from Aviator LLC, the effects of which will be assessed during the case.
The company also referenced a separate proceeding that SPRIBE announced on 15 April involving NSX Betnacional. Aviator LLC said neither it nor Betnacional were initially aware of that matter, and stated that once it became known, Aviator Studio Brazil moved to support Betnacional and assume responsibility for defending use of the AVIATOR brand.
Commenting on the decision, George Pruidze, CEO at Aviator Studio, said:
“Following two consecutive victories in both the trial court and appeal courts in São Paulo, it is clear there is no basis for the urgent measures sought by SPRIBE. Aviator Studio Brazil continues to operate lawfully under licence, and we remain fully committed to supporting our partners and defending the AVIATOR brand wherever necessary.
“As similar actions by SPRIBE continue to trigger proceedings in Brazil, including the ongoing matter involving Betnacional, we will continue to stand behind our partners and ensure the legitimate use of the AVIATOR brand is protected. We are confident that the same facts and legal position will continue to prevail as these cases progress.”
