“Our mission is to provide the market with a service that is local, innovative and of the highest levels of quality. Our first decision was to re-establish ‘National Lottery’ as the corporate brand, restoring the name after a very long absence. This is the first step towards bringing back the national identity of this national concession, a service provided by the Maltese to the Maltese.

“The Group is also excited to bring to market improvements to the existing products, new products to enrich the current product portfolio and an investment in systems to ensure that the service offered is to the highest standards, built on the most rigorous of compliance frameworks. On 5th July 2022, a new era in gaming in Malta will commence, a new era for the national lottery of Malta,” Mr De Gabriele added.
