VALLETTA, Malta – The Malta Gaming Authority has canceled the gaming authorization of Winzon Group Limited, ordering the operator to halt operations and refund all players, the regulator said Tuesday. The cancellation, effective March 11, was issued under Malta’s Gaming Compliance and Enforcement Regulations.
As part of the action, Winzon must notify customers of the cancellation for 30 days, return all player funds, and provide the MGA with a full transaction report and supporting bank statements confirming that refunds were completed. The company is also required to handle personal data in line with privacy laws and remove all references to the MGA and its former license.
The regulator said Winzon owes €46,693 in outstanding license fees and compliance contributions. In addition, the MGA imposed €147,080 in administrative penalties for what it described as “numerous shortcomings” in breach of Malta’s Gaming Act and related regulatory instruments.
Winzon remains liable for all obligations under Maltese gaming law, and the authority said it may take further legal steps to recover any unpaid dues.
