Playnetic, the new B2B iGaming provider, has received regulatory approval from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

The news sees the innovative gaming content provider recognised by the MGA, allowing Playnetic to provide its captivating portfolio of games to Maltese licensed operators. This strategic move allows the company to secure partnerships in one of the most prominent online gambling markets in the world, further solidifying its global footprint.

Both titles were showcased as the feature games at the show, with a range of activities including daily tournaments and prizes as well as the signature ‘Playnetic Cocktails’.
