Betby, a notable player in the esports betting market, has recently secured approval from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) to extend its esports odds feed solution to all operators with an MGA license. This significant milestone follows an extensive audit by the MGA, confirming that Betby’s solution aligns with the necessary regulatory standards.
What Betby Brings to the Table?
Betby’s solution is comprehensive, offering both pre-match and live odds, extensive content coverage, and a dedicated statistics hub. Operators can integrate this as a standalone esports data feed or incorporate it into the Betby Sportsbook. In addition to these offerings, the solution also includes risk management tools, back-office functionalities, and live esports broadcasts via Twitch, enhancing the esports betting experience.
Leadership Changes at the Helm of MGA
This approval marks one of the final acts under the leadership of the outgoing MGA CEO, Carl Brincat. The incoming CEO, Charles Mizzi, brings over 25 years of experience in finance, investment, and Maltese business, poised to take over the role on January 26. Mizzi’s appointment by the Board of Governors comes at a time when MGA continues to play a pivotal role in regulating and overseeing gaming licenses in Malta.
“This is a major milestone for Betby. During the past years, Betby has invested heavily in its own esports odds feed product. We are already collaborating with some of the leading esports feed suppliers in the industry and the feedback has been astounding.”
