MGA launches online platform for suspicious betting reporting

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Following the Authority’s publication entitled Consultation Feedback & Guidance Paper in relation to Suspicious Betting Reporting Requirements & Other Sports Integrity Matters, one of the obligations for a B2C Malta-licensed operator which offers betting on sporting events is to report suspicious betting via a specific portal to the Malta Gaming Authority.

Although the above mechanism must officially be made available by 1 January 2021, the Authority is pleased to announce that the Sports Integrity Unit has made the Suspicious Betting Reporting Mechanism available to all B2C Malta-licensed operators which offer betting on sporting events as of 23 November 2020. This is being done in order to prepare for a smoother transition and make any necessary changes prior to the official obligation date.
