Malta Gaming Authority Tightens Bonus Advertising Rules

The Malta Gaming Authority has issued updated guidance on how licensees advertise bonuses.

Key changes:

  • Wagering requirements must appear next to the headline offer
  • "Free" can no longer be used where a deposit is required
  • Time-limited offers must show an explicit expiry

Operators have 90 days to comply. We expect most major brands to update their promotions well ahead of the deadline.

About time. Hidden wagering requirements have misled players for years.

Hope other regulators follow the MGA on this one.
