The Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) is the single regulatory body that is responsible for the governance of all forms of gaming in Malta. Accordingly the LGA is responsible for Amusement Machines, Broadcasting Media games, Casinos, Commercial Bingo Halls, Commercial Communication games, Horse racing, the National lottery, Non-Profit games, Remote Gaming and Video Lottery Terminals.

In remote gaming, the LGA regulatory regime aims to be both technology neutral and game neutral, hence encompassing any type of gaming using any means of distance communication, including internet, digital TV, mobile phone technology, telephone and fax.
