A consultation document to elicit the industry’s view of a regulated market regarding digital games of skill with prize via distance communication that are offered commercially has been issued by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA).

The document was issued following concerns due to the lack of specific regulation.
Other legislation, mainly consumer legislation, addressed certain facets of the offering of the games.

“Nevertheless, the authority feels that specific regulation of this form of gaming, or guidelines relating thereto, may be required.”

The LGA currently regulates games of chance with prize, and games of chance and skill with prize.

The consultation document can be accessed here. Contributions and feedback from interested parties can be sent to skillgames.lga@lga.org.mt by February 4.
