Gambling industry legal action

The Malta Gaming Authority has suspended the license of Genesis Global Limited  making it the third company to face such an action from the Maltese gambling regulator.

This decision follows undisclosed violations of the Gaming Compliance and Enforcement Regulations in the region.

Under its gaming license, Genesis Global Limited operates several gaming websites, including Vegasoo.com, Malta Gaming Authority Suspends Genesis Global's Gambling License, Casinojoy.com, Spinit.com, and Genesiscasino.com. As a result of the suspension, the company is required to settle all outstanding payments to the MGA and its players within a week from the date the suspension was ordered (January 11). The company must also provide proof of compliance with this directive.

The license suspension wasn’t the first for Genesis; it had previously faced a temporary suspension in January 2023. Prior to this, the company had alerted its staff about potential insolvency a month earlier.
