LuckyStreak Awarded Malta Gaming Authority Recognition
LuckyStreak, the Riga-based live casino provider and igaming content aggregator has been granted Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) Recognition and is now approved under the jurisdiction to provide B2B services to MGA-licensed operators.
The Recognition Notice grants LuckyStreak an MGA B2B Critical Supply License to provide casino games and sports betting products and services. This Recognition Notice acknowledges that LuckyStreak meets the necessary criteria and safeguards required by Maltese law, and is equivalent to a local MGA licence, based upon LuckyStreak’s Latvian Gambling Services Licence.
The MGA’s Recognition Notice approach stems from its dedication to facilitating a harmonised, cross-border iGaming regulatory framework within the EU/ EEA, streamlining growth for licensed operators.
LuckyStreak is now able to provide its live dealer games and content aggregation services within the MGA’s globally-renowned framework.
Ady Totah, LuckyStreak CEO and Co-founder said: “We’re delighted to be awarded MGA Recognition as it is another major milestone in our regulatory expansion. Malta is a world-renowned licensing jurisdiction, setting the highest standards of transparency and fairness for players. It is testament to LuckyStreak’s commitment to quality, integrity and compliance, and we look forward to working with world-class MGA-licensed operators to continue our successful growth strategy.”
Rory Kimber, LuckyStreak Commercial Director said: “We’re immensely proud to have been awarded the opportunity to work in the jurisdiction, and we’re looking forward to working with the world’s most prestigious igaming brands, and having our games and providers appear on their casinos. Malta is a critically important and highly regarded gaming hub and this enables us to significantly extend the reach of our world-class content and services to highly regarded igaming brands.”
We shall be reaching out to all LuckyStreak igaming partners over the coming weeks, to forge new and deeper igaming relationships.

IBJR: Crackdown on Illegal Betting Critical to Success of Desenrola 2.0
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.
In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.
The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.
IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.
