Malta, a global leader in online gambling regulation, has seen a surge in tech innovation as operators invest in blockchain, AI, and data analytics to enhance their platforms. The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has encouraged these developments by creating a sandbox environment for testing new technologies.
Blockchain is being used to ensure fair play and transparency, while AI tools are helping operators identify and support at-risk players. The MGA has also launched initiatives to attract startups and tech talent, further solidifying Malta’s reputation as a hub for online gambling innovation.
However, increased competition from other jurisdictions like Gibraltar and the Isle of Man poses a challenge. Malta is responding by continuously updating its regulatory framework to stay ahead.
