The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) hosted the Gaming Regulators European Forum’s (GREF) 2024 conference in Malta from May 20 to 22. This prestigious event united gaming regulators from over 25 countries, creating a dynamic platform to tackle pressing industry challenges and exchange invaluable insights.

This year was the first time regulators from other continents were present at the event, inviting a global outlook to the discussions held. Topics discussed ranged from the MGA’s ESG code, responsible gambling, digital and innovation, international perspectives on gambling regulation, anti money laundering and a geographical approach to gambling.

GREF chairperson Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin said she was honoured to open GREF’s 2024 Annual Conference. She underlined the growing maturity of GREF members in their gambling analyses and tools, the urgent need for cooperation between stakeholders, and GREF’s openness to international partnerships. She pointed out that: “European regulators cannot be isolated, apart from the other actors. Even if we have specific and unique responsibilities, we need to work with others to propose effective regulation”.

MGA CEO Charles Mizzi welcomed attendees to Malta for GREF’s 2024 Annual Conference, highlighting the importance of collaboration for effective regulation. He said: “The complexity of the industry demands collaborative efforts. With various stakeholders, including operators, technology providers, and government bodies – all playing critical roles – collaboration allows us to leverage the diverse expertise and perspectives to develop comprehensive and effective regulatory frameworks that address the complexities that are inherent to the industry.”

Additionally, Anna Grech, International Affairs & Policy Outreach Manager at the MGA, delved into the development of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Code as a means to acknowledge licensees’ commitment to sustainability, showcasing and building upon the positive initiatives already being undertaken by the gaming industry.

Rachel Bezzina, the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Manager at the MGA and co-chair of the GREF AML working group, also led a dialogue during the event. She delivered key updates on best practices for effective monitoring and supervision over ML/FT risks.

With over 90 participants representing regulatory bodies from various countries, the conference served as an excellent platform for networking and collaboration among international stakeholders, reinforcing the importance of a unified approach to gaming regulation.

A first-of-its-kind comparative analysis state-by-state, the report evaluates states’ regulations against NCPG standards

Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions and research services, is proud to support the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) by producing a groundbreaking research report that cross-references states’ online sports betting regulations against NCPG’s Internet Responsible Gambling Standards (IRGS).

The new report involved a thorough analysis of the applicable laws, regulations and standards of every U.S. state with legal mobile sports betting in order to assess how closely their formal regulatory requirements align with the independent best practices recommended by the IRGS.

Keith Whyte, NCPG Executive Director, explains, “Partnering with Vixio Regulatory Intelligence on this landmark evaluation allowed for NCPG to highlight both the progress made and the critical gaps that remain in the alignment of state sports betting regulations with NCPG’s player protection standards. The report offers a comprehensive framework for states seeking to improve consumer safeguards and promote responsible gambling.”

As required by Peruvian law, international iGaming holding company PIN-UP Global intends to license its software and find a partner company.

In the context of changes in the regulation of the iGaming market in Peru, PIN-UP Global initiated the process of licensing its products and searching for licensed partners, notifying the government authorities. For the period it will take to enter the Peruvian market under the new legislation with a future partner, the holding company officially prohibits the use of PIN-UP products and brand in the region.

For the holding company, this is a consistent continuation of its journey into the B2B market, which opens up new opportunities for partnerships and will allow to provide a better user experience with PIN-UP platforms. The main objective of the holding company is to conduct efficient and transparent operations in all markets, relying on the legislation of each jurisdiction.

Recall that earlier PIN-UP Global updated the list of countries in which the use of the brand and its products is prohibited. PIN-UP as the leader of the iGaming market makes such strategic decisions taking care of its reputation and complying with the principles of responsible gaming.
