MGA warns against fake licensing claims by jackpotcitycasino-uk.uk

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has issued a formal declaration disavowing any connection with jackpotcitycasino-uk.uk, warning operators and consumers that the website's claims of MGA licensing are fraudulent.

False Licensing Claims Exposed

The regulator stated that any reference to the MGA and/or gaming licence/s said to be issued by the Maltese Authority, as stated by the above website, is false and misleading. The warning comes as part of MGA's ongoing efforts to combat unauthorised gambling operations misusing its regulatory credentials.

Warning

The Malta Gaming Authority has confirmed that jackpotcitycasino-uk.uk is operating without proper authorization and falsely claiming MGA licensing credentials.

Consumer Protection Warning

The authority emphasised that the gaming regulatory framework requires authorised persons to comply with strict legal requirements in the interest of consumers. Operators found using fake licensing claims undermine these consumer protections.

The MGA warned that the activities of unlicensed entities are unregulated and do not provide the necessary safeguards outlined by the framework, making transactions with such entities risky for consumers.

Consumer Risk Notice

Unlicensed gambling operations do not provide regulatory safeguards, making financial transactions and personal data sharing extremely risky for consumers.

Verification Reminder

The regulator reminded stakeholders to verify operator authorisation through its official licensed entity database before engaging with any gambling services claiming MGA credentials.

License Verification

Always verify operator authorization through the MGA's official licensed entity database before engaging with any gambling services claiming Maltese regulatory credentials.
