Malta Lists Websites Falsely Claiming to Be Affiliated with MGA

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has listed several websites that have wrongfully claimed to be affiliated with the regulator. The authority emphasized that it is in no way connected to these domains and that their operators do not hold MGA licenses, no matter what they may claim.

The Websites Lied to and Misled Customers

The MGA has published yet another list of online gaming websites that have wrongfully claimed to be affiliated with the authority. This time, the list included four websites under the NagaCash family, as well as an online betting agency.

Here is the list of websites the MGA confirmed it has no affiliation with:

• https://nagacash9x.com/
• https://nagacash9b.homes/
• https://nagacash9b.beauty/
• https://nagacash9b.online/
• https://ebet.agency/en/faq

The MGA emphasized that players shouldn’t trust these website’s “false and misleading” claims to be affiliated with the MGA or hold a license.

Customers Should Be Vigilant

The MGA used the opportunity to remind customers to carefully check whether the service they are playing with is legal. The authority noted that regulated websites are obliged to comply with strict regulations that are designed to protect the interests of consumers. Conversely, unlicensed websites sport none of these player protections and expose customers to risks of gambling harm.

Although unlicensed operators are insidious and ever-adaptive in their efforts to mislead consumers, the MGA noted that they can always make sure whether a service is legal by visiting the licensee register on its official website.

MGA Enhances Regulatory Oversight in 2025

A month ago, the MGA announced that it is enhancing its regulatory oversight approach, listing several core focus areas for 2025. The regulator reaffirmed its commitment to protecting players from harm and smashing gaming-related crime.

The approach for 2025 will be focused on compliance, player protection, and sports betting integrity. The regulator’s ultimate goals for the year are to redirect much-needed resources to high-risk areas, ensure superior regulatory interventions, enhance collaboration with operators to promote transparency, regulatory compliance, and best practices, and remain wary of potential changes that may arise within the highly dynamic gaming sector.

Journalist Murder Suspect Granted Bail

In other Malta-related news, Yorgen Fenech, a casino mogul, owner of Portomaso Casino and Qawra Oracle Casino in Malta, and a suspect in a murder case involving a popular journalist, was recently granted bail.

Fenech is believed to have been involved in the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia who investigated bribery and corruption among Maltese politicians and businessmen. She was eventually killed in a car bombing, taking many of her discoveries to the grave.

This case gained international notoriety and was even the reason why the Netherlands refused to grant a license to a casino operator with suspected ties to the murder.
