Tuesday 4th September 2007 Online Gaming Giants Relocate to Malta
InterCasino and InterPoker have been granted online casino gaming and online poker licenses from the government Malta. Pursuant to their licence, the companies have successfully completed the stringent requirements of the Maltese government to operate their online gaming business from Malta.
The move echoes that of many online operators who have been busy over the last few weeks and months relocating their businesses, ahead of the UK’s new Gambling Act, which prohibits companies outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) from advertising within the country. The move also serves to put both parties in a favourable position across the Europe market.
Besides players, the other beneficiaries of InterCasino and InterPoker’s Maltese license are set to be the company’s affiliates and marketing partners, who will be able to continue marketing these brands across the EU.
“InterCasino and InterPoker are both top quality brands that have been player favourites for years. They are a first choice brand to market, and their new license means that you’ll see a lot more of them in the future,” according to Michael Caselli, Editor-in-Chief of Europe’s leading poker magazine, Bluff Europe.
“We are very pleased to confirm that InterCasino & InterPoker now have a full European license in the EU territory of Malta.”
InterCasino Group Spokesman Peter Marcus, added, “Following increased regulation of online gaming across the world, InterPoker and InterCasino have moved our business, servers and official license to Malta. We have done this to ensure that all our customers are able to enjoy playing at InterPoker in the full knowledge that their game play will be with the premier European gaming license jurisdiction.”
