Malta Authority Proposes “Detailed” Player Protection Guidelines

The Malta Gaming Authority has opened a consultation with gaming licensees over “detailed player protection guidelines.” The proposals would amend the existing Malta Player Protection Directive.

The guidelines will include “licensees’ obligations regarding their responsible gaming policies and procedures and the introduction of five markers of harm that must be considered by licensees when determining effective measures and processes to detect and address problem gambling.”

Before the guidelines were proposed they were reviewed by “an expert in the field,” and included research by the Authority and the Responsible Gaming Unit.

Licensees have until October 14 to respond to the proposals.
