Malta Gaming Authority warns of another website falsely claiming to have Maltese licence

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has issued a warning about another website falsely claiming to be licensed by the Maltese gambling regulator.

It said that it has no connection with 136bet.com

“Any reference to the MGA and/or gaming licence/s said to be issued by the Maltese Authority, as stated by 136bet.com, is false and misleading,” said the MGA in a statement issued on Tuesday (yesterday).

“The MGA would like to remind consumers not to utilise services provided by an entity unless they have ascertained that the entity in question is authorised to provide such services by the MGA. The gaming regulatory framework obliges authorised persons to comply with strict legal requirements in the interest of consumers.

“The activities of unlicensed entities are unregulated and do not provide the necessary safeguards delineated by virtue of the framework, making transactions with such entities risky for consumers.”
