The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has distanced itself from two more online casino URLs claiming to hold a licence with the regulator.
Malta’s gaming regulator released a statement confirming that any references to the MGA on dragonia-de.de/ and dragonia-casino.at/ are ‘false and misleading’.
The statement warned: ”The MGA would like to remind consumers not to utilise services provided by an entity unless they have ascertained that the entity in question is authorised to provide such services by the MGA.
“The activities of unlicensed entities are unregulated and do not provide the necessary safeguards delineated by virtue of the framework, making transactions with such entities risky for consumers.”
When accessing the first URL, the website claims to be operated by NovaForge Ltd and licensed by Anjouan – a popular jurisdiction for black market operators. However, the small print at the bottom of the website also states that it is ‘licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority’.
Dragonia and NovaForge Ltd are not listed as a licensed entity on Anjouan Gaming’s register, nor are they listed under the MGA’s list of authorised entities.
SlotBeats was unable to access dragonia-casino.at/.
The improper use of the MGA’s name has been something the regulator has been dealing with for over 20 years, having issued its first notice in 2026.
Last year, the MGA added 42 different URLs to its list of unauthorised websites. Meanwhile, already this year, it has been forced to issue similar notices in January, February and March.
