New MGA licensed casinos the full list, newest number first

The MGA casino list, newest number first

The Malta Gaming Authority numbers each authorisation in sequence, so the highest numbers are the most recently assigned and the new MGA licensed casinos sit at the top. This list holds all 125 licences on its register that cover casino games and serve players: 103 B2C licences and 22 corporate ones. Each row shows the websites the licence's own seal names. Where there are more than three, open the row to see them all. Sequence and year do not always agree. The clearest exception is National Lottery plc's MGA/B2C/003/2022, which has the lowest sequence number and so sits at the foot of the list.

Every licence here covers casino games, the MGA's Type 1. "Also covers" lists the other games its seal approves. A dash means the seal names no website or no dispute service. The GB column shows the activity of any active remote licence the same company holds on the Gambling Commission's register, with its account number. "Casino via" names a website from the seal that the Commission lists under another company's casino licence. "No" means neither.

Why new MGA licensed casinos are often familiar brands

A new licence number does not always mean a new casino. NetPlay Malta's MGA/CRP/1117/2025, the second highest number, lists betsson.com, nordicbet.com, betsafe.com and casinoeuro.com, and the same four addresses also appear on Rizk Nordic's MGA/B2C/959/2022. SBG Sports holds MGA/B2C/1111/2025 for skybet.com, and Kserol's MGA/B2C/1031/2023 lists unibet.mt, mariacasino.com and bingo.com. Read a new number as a new licence, not necessarily a new site.

The year in the number is often older than the licence now in force. Videoslots holds MGA/CRP/258/2014, and its own footer gives the licence's issue date as 19 May 2020. CRP numbers are corporate licences, under which a whole group of companies counts as one licence holder. On each seal a corporate licence is marked either B2C, a licence to serve players, or B2B, a licence to supply other operators. This list keeps only the B2C ones.

The MGA sorts games into four types. Type 1 covers casino games, from live casino, roulette and blackjack to virtual sports, plus lotteries. Type 2 is fixed-odds betting, Type 3 covers pool betting, betting exchanges and player-against-player poker and bingo, and Type 4 covers controlled skill games. 26 of the 125 licences cover casino games only, and 88 add sports betting.

MGA casino licences that have ended

The register also keeps licences that have ended. 130 B2C casino licences are marked Surrendered, Cancelled or Expired: 103 surrendered, 25 cancelled and 2 expired. Almost half, 61, carry numbers from 2015 to 2018, years from which only 27 B2C casino licences are still licensed and one more, Condor Malta's, is suspended. Every B2C casino licence numbered 2022 or later is still in force.

A surrendered licence is one the company gave up. A cancelled one is one the MGA ended.

Which of these casinos hold a UK licence

A Malta licence does not cover Great Britain. Only a Gambling Commission licence lets a company offer gambling to people here. The last column of the table looks for the same company name on the Commission's register, then for the websites on the seal. Fourteen holders have an active remote casino licence in their own name, among them Videoslots, LeoVegas Gaming, Betway and White Hat Gaming. On five more, a website from the seal is listed under another company's GB casino licence. bet365.com sits under Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC, sportingbet.com under LC International, casumo.com under Recro, fruitkings.com under Solaya Group and paddypower.com under PPB Games. None of the 21 new MGA licensed casinos numbered 2022 or later has a GB casino licence by either route. Only SBG Sports holds a GB betting one.

The other 106 show neither. Check that the exact website you use is listed on the Commission's register. The UK list linked at the top of this page counts from the Commission's side, by head office, and finds more Malta operators. The EU casinos guide compares EU brands' UK welcome offers.

Who settles a complaint at an MGA casino

Each seal names the dispute service (ADR) the licence holder uses when a complaint cannot be settled with the casino. eCOGRA appears on 63 of the 125 seals, MADRE on 33, EADR on 15, CasinoReviews.com on 8 and two smaller services on 4. Four seals name two services, and six name none. Complain to the casino first and keep its reply. If that does not settle it, take it to the service the seal names. The MGA also takes player complaints through its complaint form.
