• Based on extensive documentation and transaction records I have identified a recurring pattern where players’ funds are transferred through intermediary payment structures and ultimately lost to casinos that while claiming MGA authorization operate in ways that undermine consumer protection transparency and basic financial safeguards.In practice MGA-licensed casinos continue to:- accept player funds while obstructing or denying withdrawals-rely on opaque payment intermediaries and third-party accounts-operate in clear conflict with consumer protection principles applicable within the European Union.Despite repeated public complaints reports and documented financial harm the MGA continues to license and supervise operators whose conduct would not be tolerated under stricter regulatory regimes. This creates the perception that an MGA license is being used as a shield to legitimize practices that effectively deprive consumers of their money.I consider this a systemic regulatory failure where the licensing authority does not provide meaningful protection to players nor effective remedies once harm has occurred. The result is that consumers are left without real recourse while operators continue business as usual under MGA supervision.For this reason I strongly recommend that affected consumers do not rely on the Malta Gaming Authority for dispute resolution but instead file formal complaints with the European Consumer Centre (ECC) and relevant national authorities. Cross-border consumer protection mechanisms offer significantly stronger safeguards than those currently enforced by the MGA.

€9000 confiscated — months of silence. This feels like pure mafia.

• I’m writing this because I honestly don’t know where else to turn.XLBet confiscated over €9000 of my winnings — money I won fairly money I followed every rule to withdraw. They took everything without explanation.I filed a full complaint with the Malta Gaming Authority months ago.No reply.Not a single update.Not even a confirmation that my case exists.I submitted the complaint again.Still complete silence.The worst part isn’t only the stolen money — it’s the feeling of standing completely alone against a system that seems designed to protect the casino not the player.It genuinely feels like mafia tactics: take the money disappear and pretend you don’t hear the victim screaming for help.€9000 is a life-changing amount for a family.It represents months of work stress sacrifices and responsibility.Being ignored by both the casino and the regulator is heartbreaking. It destroys trust. It destroys hope.I’m writing this so others won’t fall into the same nightmare.If this is how XLBet and the Maltese regulatory system treat people the world deserves to know.I am still waiting for an answer.The silence says everything.

Refuse to respond

• I asked for my account to be closed only to find out it wasnt. Told me it can only be done if there is a problem gambling. I filed complaint but they refused to deal with me after being unable to show me where in their terms and conditions this rule was written. I thrn contacted mga as I was told by ecogra that this was their issue as holder of the gaming licence first they came back with a completely irrelevant answer so I asked again to answer me regarding my complaint issues. They then replied weeks later that the case has been concluded and the vendor contacted but they didnt tell me the result nor have they updated the vendor. Meanwhile leovegas then told me I can close an account without any gambling issues my account cannot be reopened once this has been requested and there is no explicit rule outlining any exact reasons for why the account has to be closed based on problem with gambling .still leovegas refuse to acknowledge this dispute records of the conversations and MGA refuse to respond to me

Don’t bother to file a complaint

• Don’t bother to file a complaint they don’t care and work for the casinos. What ever bs the casinos comes with as an excuse they say okay case closed.

Username Pernacchia

• I play on Betrebels with Maltese license and I have never received feedback from this licensee despite 3 years that I play on that Betrebels site and I have never exceeded the single deposit on the casino slots. Unfair RTP worse than unlicensed casinos (at leastthose without a license are more honest because they do not hide under any false protection to the player and corrupt pieces of state). They never pay anything in 3 years the balance has not exceeded € 500 (on rare occasions) money that obviously makes no sense to withdraw considering that I played them in a month! You ask for explanations in chat and they dont even deign to answer you as if you were the last to arrive! Then you open a complaint to this fraudulent licensee and obviously he will do nothing to protect you and will always give the operator the right! I advise you to delete all those false declarations on your sites both for the operator and for the regulator as they are just a bunch of bullshit and there is not a single point that is respected I say only one not even!

They never responded to your mail

• They never responded to your mail. You can provide them all the profs they will ignore it. Very shameless organisation.

MGA - a wall

• MGA seems to be a wall players hit in disputes with casinos. I have never heard of anyone who ad a player has gotten their dispute ruled in favor by the MGA.Casinos on the other hand can behave as they want. With them always winning the case and with the time it takes MGA to handle cases they just need to sit down and ignore the players problems. I would strongly advice everyone to stay away from MGA casinos.

European Comission must investigate…

• European Comission must investigate them - did already a report to our contrys EU Commissioner who promised to take this matter. MGA do not handle complaints properly and there is lots of corruption inside them.

• More than 3 years playing not a single win even they give you 500%bonus still you wont win I have all transactions history I think its better to report about this to ban it

• Take care this company didnt resolve any case with betting and casino bookmarks.They care thiefs

MGA are no longer trustworthy

• Online casino with MGA Licence (Lapilanders.com) has stolen my winnings complaints were ignored for more than 3 months Scam casino continue to operate under MGA Licence and steal funds every day.

Where did you go?

• Two facts I must divulge. One I have never had direct interaction although I do interact with several of the sites that are said to be insured by them. Two since I have not interacted with them personally I can not say they are a terrible company. Or that they have done any wrong to me. That being said I would have liked to be able to come here and see a reply from them. Some reassurance that they are watching. Since they are the authority to much of the online gambling/casino world. So we can know and have faith that the casino games we play on line are not just blowing smoke up our rears. I mean are they even aware of the issues a large percent of people trying to withdraw their winnings are being hassled or scrutinized to the point of defeat. I may not spend a lot of money buying worthless Internet money. But it is my money. I figure Im also investing in these sites the win is my return even if it is four to six months down the road. When it comes back to me. But if I cant have it back in the form of cash instead of gift cards to higher end stores. Its not worth it. I mean come on! So Malta. Sirs and ladies. Just some reassurance would be nice. Thanks for listening. Bye
