iGaming

Malta remains an established jurisdiction for gaming businesses, with the sector regulated under the Gaming Act and applicable MGA regulations, directives, policies, manuals and guidance documents. The MGA describes its regime as technology- and game-neutral, covering gaming activity that can be securely managed and operated in line with applicable regulations.

Forvis Mazars in Malta supports iGaming operators, B2B suppliers and other industry participants with integrated audit, assurance, tax, compliance, risk and advisory services. Our approach combines sector knowledge with practical support across regulatory, financial, operational and technology matters, helping clients manage obligations and prepare for what’s next.

We provide practical support across the iGaming business lifecycle, including:

• Regulatory and licensing support — assistance with licence applications, regulatory submissions, ongoing MGA obligations and change-related matters.
• Audit and assurance — support with statutory audits, systems audits/reviews, compliance audits and agreed-upon procedures reports where required under the MGA framework.
• Governance, risk and internal controls — advice on governance arrangements, key functions, risk management, internal audit, oversight and evidence-based control frameworks.
