SoftGamings’ Sportsbook Solution Gets Licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority
SoftGamings is thrilled to announce that another one of its products has received a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority. Namely, SoftGamings’ sportsbook solution powered by BetRadar is now fully licensed by the MGA, bringing fixed odds and live betting within reach of all clients holding a B2C Maltese licence.
By getting approval from the leading regulators in the business, SoftGamings can stay on track with its development plans and tap into a larger pool of potential clients.
Apart from having thoroughly tested and safe sportsbook solutions, SoftGamings’ offer abounds in attractive features that both the operators and users can enjoy. There are over 370,000 pre-match betting events per year across 60+ different sports, including eSports.
Live betting is not far behind either — with thousands of betting opportunities players have at their disposal daily, they can capitalise on the shifting odds as the action unfolds. BetRadar’s software is among the fastest available, allowing players to receive information in real-time in a matter of seconds.
Completely risk-free trading, advanced reporting systems, and a myriad of bonuses and promotions set SoftGamings’ sportsbook solution apart in a competitive market.
As one can expect, the entire team at SoftGamings rejoiced upon hearing the news. Here’s what Dzianis Niasmelau, Head of Sportsbook department, had to say about the latest milestone: “The entire sales team is over the moon about this positive development with the Malta Gaming Authority. Having licensed our sportsbook solution, we had more sway in our negotiations. This allowed us to show our clients that we can offer a fully regulated package through a single unified API. All they have to do is choose and watch us deliver”. To conclude the interview, Dzianis stated: “Expect SoftGamings to continue exploring further jurisdictions and bring only safe and regulated products to those markets.”

The General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ), which reports to the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and the 2030 Agenda, held the constituent meeting of the recently renewed Responsible Gambling Advisory Council.
This renewal follows the expiration of the previous council’s term last May. The meeting was chaired by the Director General of Gaming Regulation, Mikel Arana, in his capacity as president of the Council.
As in previous compositions, the Responsible Gaming Advisory Council incorporates professionals and representatives from the General State Administration and the Autonomous Communities, experts in the scientific, healthcare and academic fields who carry out activities related to gambling disorders, and finally, representatives of institutions, organisations and associations related to the gambling sector and gambling operators.
Presentation of the Safe Gaming Programme 2026-2030
In addition to the constitutive session of the new composition, the meeting focused on the presentation, by the General Directorate of Gaming, of the proposal for the Safe Gaming Programme 2026-2030, a strategic document that establishes the lines of work for the next four years.
This document reflects three priorities: analysis and diagnosis of the current situation, prevention and promotion of safe gaming and participant protection.
The programme also includes six general objectives and 22 specific measures, which aim to promote new lines of work in collaboration with the Advisory Council.
The new Council members will have three months to provide input on the draft programme proposal submitted, with the goal of reaching a consensus and approving a final document to guide public policy on safe gaming at the next Advisory Council meeting.

The Swedish Gambling Authority has initiated supervision to ensure that the requirements for procedures and drawing protocols are followed.
The purpose of the supervision is to check how the licensees comply with the provisions of Sections 7–8 (routines) and Section 9 (drawing protocol) in SIFS 2024:1.
The Swedish Gambling Authority’s regulations and general advice on draws outside gaming systems, SIFS 2024:1, came into force on 1 June 2024. The regulations state the requirements for draws outside gaming systems. For example, draws must be carried out according to established draw procedures. Draws outside a gaming system may only be made if the requirements in Sections 5–11 of SIFS 2024:1 are met.
Actors involved in supervision:
• AB Svenska Spel
• Folk Games Nonprofit Association
• Motorists’ Sobriety Association
• The National Pensioners’ Organisation
• Vaxjo Lakers Hockey.

Last Thursday, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi signed into law three bills — Bills 11, 12 and 13 — each of which are related to illegal gambling in the county.
The first, Bill 11, sets requirements on “electronic amusement devices” in public establishments. Operators of the establishment are now required to obtain a permit from the Honolulu Police Chief to use such a device on the premises, or else forfeit the device.
The Police Chief could deny a permit application if the proposed location of the device “would be reasonably likely to result in an increase in criminal activity, vandalism, litter, noise or traffic congestion,” according to the bill. The bill also requires anyone with a permit to allow a police officer to enter the premises and inspect the device and other records.
Meanwhile, Bill 12 allows the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting to deny permit applications for properties that have been cited for a gambling-related public nuisance within the previous two years.
And Bill 13 allows landlords to request a police escort while inspecting a private property for nuisance claims, with the accompanying officers authorized to document law violations or unsafe conditions, and to warn people not authorized to be there to leave.
In tandem, the three bills are meant to clamp down on illicit gambling rooms, which often become hotspots for associated complaints of criminal behavior.
