Does anyone know if this could be applied retroactively? For example, if a player had been banned from Rizk a year ago, would he have been banned everywhere when this law came into effect? Probably not, right?

Already in use for them in the past, their MGA

Malta's gambling authority barely monitors the sector, however; it has long been in the grip of the Italian mafia.
Italian investigators have been on the trail of several mafia clans for a decade who are said to have exploited Malta's gambling sector for their own purposes - to earn and launder huge sums of money. This was reported by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" (SZ) on Friday, which has joined forces with 17 other media to form the "Daphne Project". The journalists thus continue the research of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who died last October by a car bomb. Caruana Galizia had written that Malta's ambition to become the center of the European gambling industry had opened the door to abuse.
According to the "SZ," Italian investigators noted several times how the mafia infiltrated the gambling sector and how the patchy control of the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) encouraged that. Mafia organizations are said to have even passed gambling licenses among themselves or done business without a Concession altogether.
Italy's top anti-mafia court sought help from Maltese authorities, according to the report, but it took months for them to order investigations and freeze accounts of defendants.

Thank you for your shown commitment, dear MGA and dear Malta!
The casinos have changed their terms and conditions much faster than the MGA has changed Player protection in all these years.

Whereby the establishment of a central player protection would be a good idea.
But first wait and see when and how that comes!

Thus some Casinos will do without the MGA seal, in order to be able to dedicate themselves completely to the addicts

Logically not.

I don't assume it at all, but in the course of Player protection it would actually be a really consistent intervention.

That would be a paternalism if I close my account because Provider X has cheated me I do not want to be excluded as a punishment from the Maltese mafia at all.

Because I also bet, and they are also often MGA licensed but here you can really bring his knowledge.

Hopefully, there will be a distinction whether I want to lock myself completely or only in one casino
or only in one casino.

Yes, you are screwed and can never play again.
Be happy.

In the offline area, Malta does not allow you to be locked forever. You can be blocked for 6 months or 1 year and after this time you are automatically unblocked again. You can also be banned for life, but then you have to present a psychological certificate - which you always get in principle. I find this system almost perfect. It would be even more perfect if you could only lock yourself for certain types of games such as lotto, small game, big game, sports betting etc.

I don't think that one would be subsequently blocked forever. The reasons why you are banned are also important. If you indicate Gambling addiction, then logically you will be blocked everywhere.

Slot machines outside of casinos and small betting stores do not exist in Malta, so you really can't play anywhere after a ban. When I was banned for 6 months, I really couldn't play anywhere anymore, thanks to Mafia (unfortunately only offline). As an addicted gambler, I'd rather be ruled by the Mafia than by Gauselmann and Merkel ...

I welcome the plans of the MGA and I hope that it will be implemented as soon as possible. Of the fast troops are the Maltese usually not ...

Just think how many players would be missing then all at once the mga casinos...most have you out of frustration or even for protection already let you block somewhere...
