What the MGA said
On 25 September 2026 the MGA declared it has no connection with 12 web addresses identified during September 2026. It said any reference by these sites to the MGA, or to a gaming licence issued by the Maltese authority, is false and misleading.
The MGA reminded players not to use any gambling service unless they have confirmed the business is authorised by the MGA, and said unlicensed sites do not offer the protections required under Maltese law.
Web addresses named by the MGA

What this means for players
None of these web addresses appears on IRLG's licensed register. Several appear aimed at players in Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. If a site claims a Malta licence, check it on the MGA's own Licensee Register before depositing.
IRLG reports only what the MGA has stated. The addresses are listed as plain text and are not linked.
