Malta Regulator Exposes False Use of Its Gaming License

Malta’s gambling regulator has publicly disavowed any connection to casinowinner.io, stating the operator has been falsely claiming to hold a license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

In a notice published on its official website, the MGA confirmed that casinowinner.io is not, and has never been, a licensed operator under its jurisdiction.

“Any reference to the MGA and/or gaming license(s) said to be issued by the Maltese Authority, as stated by casinowinner.io, is false and misleading,” the statement read.

Though casinowinner.io appears to have scrubbed any visible mention of MGA from its website, the platform still references other jurisdictions, including Cyprus, the Netherlands, and Curaçao. However, the legitimacy of even those claims remains murky.

According to online casino tracking tool Rotativka, the operator most likely holds a Curaçao license. Yet even that status, the site notes, is hard to confirm due to vague and inconsistent terms.

Adding to the confusion, casinowinner.io offers games from some of the most reputable providers in the UK market — names like Yggdrasil, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, Novomatic, and Evolution. 

In light of the situation, the MGA is urging players to verify any operator’s license claims through the regulator’s own public database.
