The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has conducted a survey among its licensed online operators to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the gaming sector.

The results of the survey show that the worst-hit sector is projected to be the B2C sector, in particular the operators exposed to Type 2 game types. Indeed, the gaming revenue for this sector is projected to be 40% lower than that projected in earlier budgets for the same full year 2020. Most of the operators are considering postponing investment plans for a later date, subject to a notable degree of uncertainty.

The survey covered the areas including the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on gaming revenue, operating costs and investments. It also focused on the industry concerns and actions taken by operators during this pandemic.
