The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has provided information to its Approved Audit Service Providers and current and prospective licensees about the updates made to the Audits section on the Authority’s portal, and the related Audit/Review process.

“The Malta Gaming Authority (the Authority) would like to inform its Approved Audit Service Providers and current and prospective licensees of minor updates made to the Audits section on the Authority’s portal, and the related Audit/Review process. The following information outlines the considerations to be made for the auditing process, and the submission of reports for any of the System Audits, System Reviews and/or Compliance Audits engagements, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Audits’.

“After receiving approval from the Authority, the appointed Service Provider has sixty (60) days to complete System Audits and System Reviews, and ninety (90) days for Compliance Audits. The completed Audit report must be submitted electronically through the Authority’s portal. Should the appointed Service Provider identify any instances of non-compliance during this review period, the licensee should be notified, and the licensee is strongly encouraged to address and rectify any identified issues within their documentation and/or systems throughout the Audit period.

“In such circumstances, the Approved Service Provider must conduct fresh audit checks of the identified non-compliances and appropriately mark such checks within the Audit Report as ‘Resolved at Audit Stage’, if deemed to be compliant. Furthermore, the ‘Partially Compliant’ status can be used if an audit check is found to be partially compliant with the Regulations.

“In view of these changes, the Authority has added two new External Audit Conclusions statuses, these being ‘Resolved at Audit Stage’ and ‘Partially Compliant’, for the Service Providers to be able to report the Audit findings accordingly.

“Should there be any instances of non-compliance which cannot be resolved within the Audit deadline, the licensee may request a one-time extension of the Audit deadline to resolve and re-audit the identified systems and/or documentation issues. The request of such an extension would need to be accompanied by a summary of the issue/s, and a plan of rectification. The extension is at the Authority’s discretion, the time-frame of which shall be determined by the Authority.

“It is important to note that the Authority retains the right to reject an Audit Report if it is unable to arrive at a conclusive review outcome due to a significant number of instances of non-compliance.”

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.
