All gambling activities in Malta are regulated by the Gaming Act of 2018 which grants power to the Malta Gaming Authority to issue licenses for both land-based and remote gambling activities. The Act consolidated all previous laws and regulations and provided for an overhaul in the licensing system reducing the various classification of licences to two : Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B). The Gaming Authorisations Regulations, 2018 (subsidiary legislation 583.05) enacted under the Gaming Act mainly regulate the attainment of a licence in Malta.  Specifically a Business-to-Consumer licence, also referred to as a Gaming Service Licence, allows the operator to offer, provide or operate games whereby players may participate.
