The MGA has decided to suspend the authorisation awarded to BetElephant Limited MGA/B2C/161/2008 effective as of 7 April 2020 in terms of Regulation 9(2) of the Gaming Compliance and Enforcement Regulations (S.L. 583.06).
Dear Authorised Person,
The Authority is cognizant of the challenges that are being faced by operators due to the current international climate resulting from the fight against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this light, the MGA is monitoring the situation closely and is committed to taking decisions that are commensurate with the difficulties being faced by licensees.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disruptive impact on sports worldwide, and by correlation, the betting sector is facing unprecedented challenges. The Malta Gaming Authority understands that it is far from being business as usual for operators in this sector and is thus increasing industry outreach as means to set regulatory expectations in these turbulent times.
