Malta Gaming Authority Strengthens Gaming Device Approval Procedures

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) recently announced that it has strengthened its gaming device approval procedures. This move is part of the MGA’s ongoing efforts to ensure that all gaming devices in Malta are safe and secure.

The MGA is the regulatory body responsible for the regulation of gaming activities in Malta. It is responsible for issuing licenses to operators, ensuring that operators comply with the applicable laws and regulations, and monitoring the gaming industry in Malta.

The MGA has now strengthened its gaming device approval procedures by introducing a new set of technical requirements. These requirements are designed to ensure that all gaming devices in Malta meet the highest standards of safety and security. The new requirements include:

• All gaming devices must be tested and certified by a third-party laboratory. This laboratory must be approved by the MGA.

• All gaming devices must be equipped with a secure software platform that meets the MGA’s security requirements.

• All gaming devices must be equipped with a secure hardware platform that meets the MGA’s security requirements.

• All gaming devices must be equipped with an anti-tampering mechanism that prevents unauthorized access to the device.

• All gaming devices must be equipped with a secure communications protocol that meets the MGA’s security requirements.

• All gaming devices must be equipped with a secure data storage system that meets the MGA’s security requirements.

These new requirements are designed to ensure that all gaming devices in Malta meet the highest standards of safety and security. This will help to protect players from potential fraud and other forms of criminal activity. It will also help to ensure that operators comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

The MGA is committed to ensuring that all gaming activities in Malta are conducted in a safe and secure environment. The new gaming device approval procedures are just one of the many steps that the MGA is taking to ensure that this is the case.
