The Maltese online publication igamingprofilermalta.com is preparing the launch of its first journal publication.

The journal, set up early in 2008 by SET media Ltd, will focus on the growing Maltese iGaming industry and feature articles ranging from information about regulation and legislation in the Maltese jurisdiction to present and future challenges facing the industry.

For the first time, iGamingProfilerMalta.com, in collaboration with RSM Malta, is completing an exclusive industry research the results of which will be revealed in the journal's pilot issue.

"The research was a laborious work which, with the help of Maria Micallef, partner at RSM Malta, will become a crucial instrument in identifying current industry weaknesses, niche opportunities in the supplier network and important factors like the operators' perceptions on the legislation and the quality of the local services," said Velislava Hillman, managing director of SET limited and the publisher of the upcoming journal.

The journal will also have other valuable information besides the findings and the analysis of the industry research. An exclusive interview with the new acting CEO of the Local Gaming Authority (LGA), Michael Gonzi, will discuss both the history and future of the authority. It will outline the vision the LGA has for 2009 and respond to some of the findings of the research.

Articles will include an operator's perspective of the proposed new regulations that were shelved. Alan Alden will discuss the industry data security standards in payments and Tony Axisa will investigate the role of the Key Official. Also from an operator's perspective, Denitza Dimitrova will offer an insight into how licensing procedures in Malta are viewed.

Beyond these, the journal will examine the developments taking place in the EU with respect to convergence and harmonisation of regulation with the input of prominent legal advisers.

Apart from a launch event on January 15 next year, the journal will be distributed to those attending the forthcoming International Casino Exhibition (ICE) at Earls Court at the end of this week. The publication will also be distributed to the international gaming media and to iGamingProfilerMalta.com readers.
