Question Title Why Malta

Q.  Why should I select Malta for locating my e-gaming business?

A.   Malta is today considered as a world leader in the e-gaming industry and this position was achieved in a short time frame of around 5 years.  The reasons for this are many, but the major factors are:

1.  Malta was the first country in  the world that enacted industry specific legislation and regulations.

2.  The establishment of the Lotteries and Gaming Authority to promote and supervise the activities of the gaming industry ensures a regulated environment and full protection of players.

3.  The confidence that international players now have in a Malta licenced e-gaming site since they know that their funds are actively protected.  This helps to attract more and better class players to the Malta licenced sites.

4. Through Malta's membership in the European Union, any Malta licenced company obtains passporting rights to all the member countries of the EU, which today is one of the largest markets for e-gaming.

5. Local specialists service providers ensure that any e-gaming operator established in Malta can sustain its success through leading edge infrastructural support. 

6. The attractive gaming tax that is highly competitive when compared to other jurisdictions around Europe.

7. Our low cost of operations makes for  a bigger bottom line.

8. Ready supply of the required skills at a very competitive cost base to other European locations.

9. The lifestyle and mediterranean climate makes the island not only a profitable location, but also an enjoyable one.

10.  The corporate tax regime for companies can bring down the effective income tax rate on company profits from 35% to 5%.  As income tax is an indisputable operating cost, our income tax regime ensures that successful companies get to retain most of their hard earned profits.
