Recognition Notices
Advice on MGA Recognition Notice applications, foreign gaming licence recognition, legal opinions, annual maintenance and changes.
For operators, suppliers, investors and groups relying on EU, EEA or equivalent foreign gaming authorisations.
Service focusWe help assess whether a foreign gaming licence can support Malta-facing activity through an MGA Recognition Notice.
Useful for market entry, restructuring, B2B supply, investor diligence and annual maintenance.
- Foreign-licensed operators considering Malta activity
- B2B suppliers providing gaming supplies in or from Malta
- Groups adding domains, directors or foreign licences
- Investors checking regulatory basis and continuity
When this matters
A Recognition Notice may matter where a business already holds a foreign gaming authorisation and needs the MGA to recognise it for gaming services or gaming supplies in or from Malta. The work turns on licence scope, comparability, safeguards, product descriptions and ongoing maintenance.
Scope of work

The work is detail-driven: the foreign licence, activity, domains, product scope, directors and legal opinion must align.
Foreign licence and territorial scope review
Legal opinion support and comparability analysis
