The company offers smart and ingenious solutions powered by artificial intelligence for casino management and igaming, which promise to reduce the manpower requirements and enhance efficiency of customer acquisition.
The highlight of TMAâs array of solutions is the SmartLobby. It provides an automated system to manage the whole process and simultaneously offers the players data-rich and customized content. The company operates in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, and Germany.
Dario Arruda, the CEO of TMA, said:
âThe Malta Gaming Authority is undeniably one of the most prestigious licensing bodies in the industry.
âBeing granted this B2B licence not only recognizes our commitment to offering top-tier, transparent, and secure products, it also gives us access to a new business segment.
âThis is our gateway to help more partners fully leverage the power of AI, automation, and flexibility, and show them just how much further we can take their business with better, streamlined solutions.â

UKGC Imposes ÂŁ6.1M Fine on Online Operator In Touch Games

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has imposed a fine of ÂŁ6.1 million on In Touch Games (ITG) for social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures.
Social responsibility failures included:
- Not interacting with a customer until seven weeks after they had been flagged for interaction for erratic play patterns and extended periods of play.
- Accepting a customerâs word that they earned ÂŁ6000 a month without verifying this information after the customer account was flagged due to customer spend and gambling during unsociable hours.
Anti-money laundering failures included:
- Not adequately taking account of the risk of a customer being a beneficiary of a life insurance policy; having links to high-risk jurisdictions; or being a politically exposed person (PEP), family member of a PEP or known close associates of a PEP, within its money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessment.
- Not having policies, procedures and controls in place to address the risk factors mentioned above.
- Not sufficiently considering the Commissionâs money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessment or the Commissionâs guidance.
- Not ensuring its policies, procedures and controls were implemented effectively, for example not following its own policy to request source of funds information from customers who had deposited and lost ÂŁ10,000 in a 12-month period.
This is the third time ITG have faced regulatory action – in 2019 it paid a ÂŁ2.2m settlement for regulatory failures and in 2021 it received a ÂŁ3.4m fine and warning for further failures.
Kay Roberts, Executive Director of Operations at UKGC, said: âConsidering this operatorâs history of failings we expected to see significant improvement when we carried out our planned compliance assessment. Disappointingly, although many improvements had been made, there was still more to do.
âThis ÂŁ6.1m fine shows that we will take escalating enforcement action where failures are repeated and all licensees should be acutely aware of this.â

MGA Exploring the Development of a Voluntary ESG Code of Good Practice for Remote Gaming Sector

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is exploring the development of a voluntary Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Code of Good Practice for the remote gaming sector.
As noted by the MGA, the idea comes amid investors, consumers and employees becoming âincreasingly aware of the impact that companies have on society and the environment,â which has resulted in a growing awareness of ESG matters.
Concerning this matter, the Maltese Government in recent years has launched a voluntary ESG reporting platform in a bid to encourage companies to publicly report on their ESG performance. This will then hopefully drive investment towards sustainable business.
Starting from 2024, all large or listed groups will be required to report under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), with the MGA now embarking on a journey to develop a voluntary code for the remote gaming sector. It aims to help guide and prepare local licensees for upcoming ESG legislation and to gain the benefits associated with running a âsustainably conscious operation.â
The code aims to establish the common priorities for ESG in gaming, with the needs of key stakeholders taken into consideration. Reducing environmental, social and governance impacts whilst continually enhancing Maltaâs reputation as a leading Gaming jurisdiction is also being taken into consideration.
The MGA added: âLooking ahead, we expect to see more and more companies taking concrete actions towards becoming more sustainable, and we believe that reporting such efforts contributes positively to implementing change within the sector and improving its overall perception, while also addressing the increasing demand for transparency and accountability in the industry.
âAs part of this initiative, the MGA has launched a survey with its licensees who are the key partners in the process of transforming the gaming sector into a more sustainable and transparent one.â
