The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is publishing the findings of a thematic review examining betting activity on Maltese football competitions

Announced in the Regulatory Oversight Supervisory Engagement Efforts for 2025, the review analyses data submitted by B2C Type 2 licensees covering the 2023–2024 football season. It explores wagering trends, player demographics and the integrity measures in place across the market.

Findings show that betting on Maltese football remains moderate in size, with most activity centred on mainstream markets such as match winner and total goals. Participation by Maltese bettors is limited and primarily involves young men living in urban areas. Maltese football also attracts a modest level of international betting interest, though volumes remain small compared to larger competitions.

The review highlights that licensees have implemented integrity safeguards, including the monitoring of suspicious activity and collaboration with the Authority and sports governing bodies. These measures reflect the sector’s ongoing commitment to maintaining a fair and transparent betting environment.

The Authority remains dedicated to working closely with licensees and stakeholders to enhance cooperation, reinforce integrity measures and uphold trust in Maltese sport and the wider betting landscape.

As part of its ongoing commitment to player protection, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has announced the launch of an online Self-Assessment Tool, available in both English and Maltese, designed to help individuals reflect on their gambling habits and behaviour.

Developed in close collaboration with several key local organisations – namely Sedqa, Caritas Malta, the OASI Foundation and the Responsible Gaming Foundation – the tool is completely anonymous, free to use and accessible to all.

Rooted in the Problem Gambling Severity Index – a widely recognised, evidence-based screening tool – the questionnaire comprises nine straightforward questions. These aim to assess the extent of an individual’s gambling behaviour while also considering broader social and environmental influences.

The tool encourages self-reflection in an accessible way, helping players consider whether they may benefit from reaching out for professional guidance. Should a user’s results indicate the need for further support, they will be directed to one of the participating organisations, each of which serves as a trusted point of contact for advice and care. Information is also available on safer gambling tools, such as setting limits or using global bet-blocking tools.

This initiative represents a collaborative, people-first approach to player protection, working alongside local entities in Malta and Gozo to ensure that anyone experiencing gambling-related harm is not only informed but also supported.

The MGA encourages players to use the tool regularly as a way to monitor changes in their gambling behaviour over time and stay mindful of any change that may occur.
