The Malta Gaming Authority and the country’s Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit have together published a consultation document on the introduction of new anti-money laundering requirements and measures to combat the funding of terrorism.

Malta sets out AML and CFT stance

The purpose of the document is to explain the main AML/CFT obligations and outline how remote gambling licensees will be expected to comply.

A more detailed sector-specific guidance document will be issued at a later stage following consultation with the i-gaming sector.

Licensees are being “strongly encouraged” to read the document. Licensees and other interested parties are invited to submit any feedback.

The document and the email address for feedback can be found on the MGA website, here.
