MGA disowns unauthorised URL falsely citing Maltese gaming licence

Summary
The Malta Gaming Authority declared it has no connection with a website at siapwdku.net and said any reference to the MGA or to gaming licences said to be issued by it, as stated on that site, is false and misleading. The regulator advised consumers not to use services from an entity unless they have confirmed it is authorised by the MGA, and said unlicensed activity is unregulated and lacks the safeguards of the framework.
Why it matters
The notice signals that unlicensed sites citing Maltese licences remain a consumer-protection risk for the jurisdiction's regulated operators.
