On 30 October 2026 the Malta Gaming Authority published a notice declaring that it has no connection with six websites it identified during October.

The MGA said that any reference on those sites to the authority, or to gaming licences said to have been issued by it, is false and misleading. The six addresses are reelfurycasino.org, uwin33myr5.com, winvora.io, brittsino.co.uk, upgaming.com and jedar88-heng.lol.

The regulator described the activities of unlicensed entities as unregulated and outside the safeguards set out in Malta's gaming regulatory framework. According to the MGA, that makes transactions with them risky for consumers.

The authority repeated its standing advice that consumers should not use services from any entity until they have ascertained that it is authorised by the MGA to provide them.

For that check, the MGA pointed to two lists on its website. One records every unauthorised URL the authority has identified, with new addresses added as they are found. The other lists the entities that hold an MGA licence, so a site's licensing claim can be compared against the regulator's own record.

It names no fines and does not explain how the six URLs came to the authority's attention. Without that information, there is no confirmation of any enforcement step beyond the publication of the notice. We do not know who is behind these domains; a public statement from the MGA or another regulator naming the companies, or a recorded enforcement action, would settle that.
