In a recent announcement, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has taken a strong stance against unauthorised online gaming websites, issuing a warning to consumers and emphasizing the importance of verifying the legitimacy of platforms before participating in their services. This move not only aims to protect consumers but also to uphold the integrity of Malta’s gaming industry.
The MGA’s official notice specifically names five unauthorised URLs that consumers should be wary of: www.rayvietnam.net, www.rbvn08.com, www.raybet03.com, www.ray097.com, and www.ray40.com. These websites falsely claim to be affiliated with the Authority or to hold gaming licenses issued by Malta, deceiving users and potentially putting them at risk.
“This declaration serves as a reminder to consumers about the importance of verifying the legitimacy of online gaming platforms before engaging with their services,” a spokesperson from the MGA said. It is crucial for consumers to be vigilant and only use services provided by entities that have been verified and authorised by the Authority.
The MGA stresses that authorised entities must adhere to strict legal requirements designed to protect consumers’ interests. Operating outside of this regulatory framework, unlicensed entities pose a threat to users and their safety. By only using services from legitimate MGA-licensed entities, consumers can ensure their safety and compliance with regulations.
For a list of verified and authorised entities, consumers can visit the MGA website. It is essential for players to stay informed and educated about the risks associated with unauthorised online gaming platforms and to make informed decisions when choosing where to play. The MGA remains committed to safeguarding consumers and maintaining the integrity of Malta’s gaming industry.
