You Must Be 18 or 25 to Gamble in Malta

In Malta, individuals must be at least 18 years old to participate in most gambling activities, such as online gambling, lotteries, and sports betting. However, for land-based casinos, the age limit is 25 for Maltese residents and 18 for non-residents, who must provide valid identification such as a passport or ID card to gain entry. Popular casinos include Dragonara Casino, Portomaso Casino, and Casino Malta.

Malta is a global hub for online gambling, regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), which oversees licensing, compliance, and player protection. Operators are required to verify the age of participants to prevent underage gambling. Non-compliance with age restrictions can result in heavy fines or loss of licenses.
