MALTA SOFTWARE LICENCE FOR MICROGAMING
9 November 2007
Approval opens the way for licensees to join a
credible jurisdiction
The online gambling software developer and turnkey
provider Microgaming has been awarded a Class IV online
gaming licence for its casino product by the Lotteries
and Gaming Authority (LGA) in Malta.
The license will benefit the software provider’s
partners wishing to operate within the European Union.
In addition, it will provide those operators considering
Microgaming software and wishing to be based in Malta a
smoother process - making the move a far easier one. A
number of Microgaming operators have already initiated
the process of obtaining a Malta licence on the back of
Microgaming’s Class IV.
Malta, the first EU member state to regulate remote
gaming, offers four classes of remote gaming licence,
with applicants undergoing probity checks as part of a
wider fit and proper exercise, business and technical
assessment and finally a compliance audit.
The Class IV casino license will complement the Class IV
licence that Microgaming was awarded for its poker
network earlier in the year.
Microgaming CEO Roger Raatgever commented: “We are
delighted to have been granted a Maltese license for our
casino product and look forward to being able to offer
our operators this gateway into the EU. The review
process involves a rigorous technical assessment and it
is always rewarding when your own high standards are
recognised by others - more so when it’s a European
Union jurisdiction such as Malta.”
