VentureMax Supports Talent Through iGaming Scholarship

Local talent looking to break into the iGaming industry can now apply for a potentially life-changing scholarship by VentureMax.

The Sliema-based investment company is funding an iGaming Foundations education course in full, which will be delivered by ICE Campus, one of Malta’s leading educational institutes.

This scholarship will offer crucial support for people in Malta who want to enter the iGaming industry but lack the skills or knowledge.

The course is an introduction to iGaming and covers such topics as the industry’s eco-system, products such as games/sportsbooks, fraud prevention, anti-money laundering and working in iGaming, among other aspects.

Delivery is via four live online sessions of three hours each, and applicants for the 30 spaces will have to submit a short entry video explaining why they want to take the course and why they should be chosen for the scholarship.

This course is accredited as EQF/MQF Level 5, and the scholarship will be launched in the autumn of 2025 via a publicity drive. It will be open to anyone living in Malta aged 18 or older.

VentureMax CEO Justin Anastasi said: “I want to support local people who have ambition, drive and a desire to make it big in the iGaming world.

“That’s why I wanted VentureMax to sponsor this scholarship, because I believe education is the way to improve your career, your outlook on the world and eventually your life.

“I’m delighted to be teaming up with ICE Campus, which will deliver a first-class course that has the potential to generate real success stories among Malta’s workforce.”

Matthew Sammut, director and co-founder of ICE Campus, said: “We believe education is the most powerful engine for industry transformation.

“Partnering with VentureMax to offer full scholarships for our iGaming Foundations course is a strategic investment in the future talent of this thriving sector.

“We’re proud to work with forward-thinking organisations like VentureMax, who are committed to creating real, lasting impact by opening doors for the next generation of iGaming professionals.”

VentureMax’s scholarship is part of its ongoing CSR efforts, which have already seen donations made to Malta-based causes such as Dar Merħba Bik women’s shelter, Little Sisters of the Poor care home, the MSPCA animal shelter, and FIDEM women’s charity.
