The MGA publishes notice on multiple unauthorised URLs – Malta Gaming Authority
Summary
The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) states it has no connection with several websites that falsely imply they hold MGA licences. The Authority lists the unauthorised URLs and warns consumers that any claims of MGA-issued licences on those sites are false and misleading.
The MGA reminds consumers to verify that an operator is authorised via its licencee register before using their services, as unlicensed operators do not offer the regulatory safeguards required under Maltese law.
Key Points
- The MGA declares no connection with these unauthorised URLs: https://immediate-connect.co.uk/?utm_medium=company_profile&utm_source=trustpilot&utm_campaign=domain_click, https://www.pangagames.com/, https://casino1bet.online/, https://palmsbet1.com/, https://flexiblesport.com/, https://casino-europa.eu/.
- Any reference on those sites to MGA involvement or to licences issued by the MGA is false and misleading.
- Consumers should not use services from entities unless they have confirmed the entity is authorised by the MGA.
- Unlicensed operators are unregulated and lack the consumer protections required by the gaming regulatory framework, making transactions risky.
- The MGA provides a licencee register for verification: https://www.mga.org.mt/licensee-hub/licensee-register/.
Why should I read this?
Short and sharp — if you play or manage online gambling services, this affects you. The MGA has flagged specific sites pretending to be authorised. Don’t take their word for it: check the licence register first or you risk money and privacy headaches.
