MGA Denies Connection with Five Unauthorized Websites

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) announced a list of websites that it is not associated with. In an official notice, the Maltese regulator declared any connection with the unauthorized URLs in question.

The list of websites notably includes the following:

www.rayvietnam.net
www.rbvn08.com
www.raybet03.com
www.ray097.com
www.ray40.com

The MGA noted that, despite what some of these websites claim, they do not posses a license issued by the regulator. The information stated on their websites, the authority insisted, was “false and misleading.”

The MGA Asked Players to Select Legal Operators

In the meantime, the MGA reminded customers to refrain from engaging with a service unless they are certain that it is licensed by the MGA.

The regulator reminded consumers that licensed websites are obliged to comply with a number of regulations in the interest of customers. On the contrary, their unlicensed and unregulated counterparts offer services that do not provide sufficient, if any, safeguards.

Additionally, making transactions with unlicensed websites can be risky as they offer no absolute payout guarantees.

The MGA urged consumers to familiarize themselves with the list of MGA-licensed operators, which is available on the regulator’s official website.

Former MGA CEO Farrugia Faces Legal Scrutiny

In other news, the Court of Criminal Appeal in Malta recently reaffirmed the conviction of imposed against Heathcliff Farrugia, the former chief executive of the gambling regulator in the country. For context, the executive was found guilty earlier this year of leaking confidential information to Yorgen Fenech, a rich Maltese casino mogul.

The case was built on information that had been extracted from Farrugia’s mobile phone, which was confiscated in 2019. As it turned out, the former MGA CEO had warned Fenech of upcoming casino inspections and promised to delay publishing the result of an AML review of certain Fenech-owned casino property.

Fenech, on the other hand, was detained in 2019 for alleged conspiracy to eliminate a famous journalist. Daphne Caruana Galizia perished in a car bomb assassination, which some believe was orchestrated by the casino mogul.

Fenech has denied any involvement. In the meantime, three men have been convicted to prison for their involvement in the assassination.
