Licence Classes

There are four different gaming licenses offered by the LGA for Malta based igaming operators:

Class 1: Applicable to operators who offer games which are based on repetitive events and the gaming risk is managed by the operator. This type of licence covers casino table style games, lotteries and slots.

Class 2: Applicable to operators who manage risk based on a singular event using markets. This licence covers the traditional fixed odds betting and some forms of pool betting.

Class 3: Applicable to operators who organise player to player games but do not partake in the risk and receive only a commission. A class-3-licence is suitable for betting exchange providers, pools and poker rooms.

Class 4: Applicable to software vendors and platform operators who intend to host and manage remote gaming operators having any class of the above. They cannot partake in the gaming risk and can only receive a commission.
