The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has suspended Morpheus Games’ gaming license MGA/B2C/383/2017 as of 31 January, 2019.

The company, along with associated operations, has been directed to indefinitely suspend all gaming operations, cease to register new players or accept any deposits on the Licence.

The MGA declined to disclose the reasons for the suspension saying “no further information shall be released at this stage in order not to compromise any investigations that may need to be performed by the Authority and/or any other competent authority.”

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
