Malawi Gaming Authority Publishes Licensed Operator List
The Malawi Gaming and Lotteries Authority has released its official registry of approved gaming operators to combat illegal gambling activities and direct consumers toward legitimate services within the country’s regulated market.
Ten Sports Betting Operators Receive Authorization
MAGLA’s published list identifies ten licensed sports betting operators including World Star Betting, Premier Bet Limited, Mobipay Limited, and Supapesa Limited trading as Betyanga. Additional approved operators include Port Achia Trade Limited (888 Bets), Betika Limited, Golden Bay Limited (Betway), Kuwina Limited (Betpawa), and Moors World of Sports Limited.
The land-based casino sector operates with four recognized venues: Colony Club Casino Blantyre, Colony Club Casino Lilongwe, Casino Marina Lilongwe, and Casino Marina Blantyre. Min Monte Gaming Limited and DBR International WAP Limited hold exclusive licenses for wide-area progressive gaming machine operations throughout the jurisdiction.
Lottery Licenses Divided into Two Categories
National lottery authorization covers Afrigaming International Limited trading as Zonse Lotto and Premier Lotto Limited for nationwide lottery operations. The unspecified lottery category includes Mobipay Limited, Radio Entertainment Limited, London Winners Limited, Kemal Holdings Limited, and Distribution of Wealth Limited.
MAGLA warns consumers about unlicensed operators, citing risks including unfair gaming practices, financial losses, and lack of consumer protections. The authority emphasized that operating gambling services without proper authorization constitutes a punishable offense, with violators facing legal consequences under Malawian gaming regulations.
