(AsiaGameHub) –   The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has once again found it necessary to publicly separate itself from an online casino platform that asserts it is licensed by the regulator.

Two websites – dragonia-casino.at/ and dragonia-de.de/ – both assert they possess a licence from the MGA. While the iGaming Expert team was unable to access the first URL, the second one directs users to an online casino that states it is run by NovaForge Ltd and licensed by Anjouan.

As of this writing, the website’s footer also declares that it is ‘licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority’.

Neither Dragonia nor NovaForge are featured as licensed operators on the Anjouan Gaming website, and they are also absent from the MGA’s official register.

An official statement from the regulator clarified: “Any mention of the MGA and/or gaming licences allegedly issued by the Maltese Authority, as indicated on the aforementioned websites, is incorrect and deceptive.

“The MGA wishes to advise consumers to avoid using services offered by an entity unless they have confirmed that the said entity is approved by the MGA to provide those services.”

MGA dogged by false claims

The misuse of the MGA’s name and logo has been a continuing problem for a number of years, with the regulator’s first public notice on the issue going back to 2006.

This February, the MGA published a comparable alert concerning the sites rrbet.com, babu88bd.com, and wagerstreet.net, supplementing similar warnings released in January.

In 2025, the MGA added 42 distinct URLs to its roster of unauthorized websites.

The most prominent case involved the numerous sites associated with God55, a Malaysian brand that entered a partnership with the English football club Birmingham City in March of the previous year.

After an iGaming Expert investigation, no proof was discovered that God55 held a valid licence from the MGA, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), or the CGA, even though their websites made these claims when the partnership was first revealed.
