MALTA BETTING LICENCES

Basic requirements

The Operation of Betting Offices Regulations, 2000 required a presence in Malta in the form of a premises from which the betting office's operations are carried out.  Effectively, a call centre is established exclusively to receive bets together with a processing (back office) operation. 

Betting against computer generated games such as cyber-casinos on the Internet were not given licences but the Internet could be used as a communication medium (e-mail) to the call centre.

These regulations were thereafter superseded in April 2004 with the advent of the Malta Remote Gaming Regulations, 2004.
