Cuschieri Advocates

Cuschieri Advocates is a Maltese law firm with a gaming law practice that assists with licence applications. It works in Malta only.

Services

Three services are listed: applications to the Malta Gaming Authority, gaming licensing and compliance. The Malta Gaming Authority is the regulator for gaming in Malta, so an application involves a business plan, ownership and fitness documents, and controls for player protection and anti-money laundering. After approval, the operator must meet continuing obligations, where the firm provides compliance advice.

Jurisdiction

Malta is the only jurisdiction named. The profile does not mention other countries or licence recognition procedures abroad, so an operator with a multi-market plan should ask about coordination with counsel elsewhere.

Who it suits

Online casino and sports betting operators, software suppliers and payment providers that deal with Maltese licence holders can use the firm for questions on structure, licensing and regulatory dealings. As with many legal advisers, scope, hourly rates and timelines are not published and need to be agreed in an engagement letter.
