Maltco Lotteries presented a contribution of €50,000 towards the Responsible Gaming Fund, which offers 24/7 support via a national help line and promotes education on behavioural addictions and responsible gaming to school children, the public and gaming operators.
In the past 11 years, Maltco Lotteries has contributed over €8 million towards the Responsible Gaming Fund and the government’s Good Causes Fund – €650,000 to the latter in 2014 alone.
In the meantime, government revenue from the Maltco gaming tax increased by two per cent in 2014.
