What mga licensed casinos means here

An MGA casino here is one whose Malta Gaming Authority licence number resolves to a live entry on the MGA authorisation register. Two of the twenty brands reviewed qualify, FoggyBet and Nords Casino, and both run on the same licence, MGA/B2C/233/2013, held by L.C.S Limited since 2013. The other eighteen hold something else or nothing a register would confirm.

Two items, because the criterion is strict

A two entry list is the result of the rule, not a gap in the research. The rule is a licence number printed on the site that resolves to a live entry on the MGA authorisation register, with the licensee matching the company taking deposits. FoggyBet and Nords Casino pass, and they pass on the same number, MGA/B2C/233/2013, issued 02/07/2013 to L.C.S Limited, company number C-64070. Eighteen brands do not pass. Seven name Anjouan, five name Curacao, one Tobique, one Kahnawake, and four name no regulator on any page of their own site. Six of those eighteen print nothing a public register would confirm, either because no licence number appears at all or because the number that does appear returns nothing. A Malta looking footer badge earns no place on this page. The number under the badge either resolves or it does not.

What the register actually returned

The check starts at the number, not at the badge, and the number was opened on the MGA authorisation register on 18 August 2026. The entry returns L.C.S Limited with a status of Licensed, approved for Type 1 gaming services and Type 2 fixed odds betting, registered in Ta' Xbiex, Malta, with MADRE named as the approved dispute body. Thirty six domains sit on that record and foggybet.com is one of them by name. That is what a resolving Malta licence buys a player: a dispute route to a named body rather than to the operator's own support desk, a licensee whose legal identity is public, and a framework that requires player balances to be held apart from the company's operating money. Licensee name, company number and the footer address matched the register line for line on both sites.

What Malta does not do for you

An MGA licence is not a national licence, and reading it as permission to play from anywhere is the common mistake. It does not make an operator legal in the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, France or Denmark, each of which requires its own domestic authorisation, and FoggyBet clause 2.6.4 refuses accounts from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Italy and Spain among others. The licence that makes this page short therefore excludes several markets this site covers. Two further limits. A shared licence is not a shared standard: 36 domains sit on MGA/B2C/233/2013, and clause 8.4 states that self-excluding from one does not exclude you from the rest, while clause 8.5 allows winnings taken at a sister site during an exclusion to be voided. And Malta obliges nobody to publish a cashier timetable, which is why Nords Casino publishes no withdrawal processing time at all.

Frequently asked questions

What does a casino need to appear on this list?

A Malta Gaming Authority licence number printed on the site that resolves to a live entry on the MGA authorisation register, with the licensee matching the company named in the terms. Two of the twenty brands reviewed meet it. A Malta badge with no number beside it, or a number that returns nothing, does not.

Why are there only two casinos here?

Because eighteen hold something else or nothing verifiable. Seven name Anjouan, five name Curacao, one Tobique, one Kahnawake, and four name no regulator at all. Padding a strict list out with near misses would defeat the point of having the criterion in the first place.

FoggyBet and Nords share a licence. Are they the same casino?

Same licensee, different sites. L.C.S Limited holds MGA/B2C/233/2013 and the register shows 36 domains on it. Where it counts they differ: FoggyBet publishes a 72 hour payout window and Nords Casino publishes none, and the two score 6.2 and 6.0.

Does an MGA licence make a casino legal where I live?

No. Malta is not a national licence. Playing from the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, France or Denmark requires the operator to hold that country's own authorisation, and FoggyBet clause 2.6.4 refuses British, Dutch and French accounts outright. Read the country clause in the terms before depositing.

If I self exclude, does it cover the sister brand?

Not on this licence. FoggyBet clause 8.4 states that self-excluding does not automatically exclude you from other brands on the same licence, clause 8.5 allows funds to be suspended and winnings voided if you open one, and clause 8.6 removes any duty to refund stakes.

Alana Hippensteele is the Managing Editor of LSM99 and the person whose name sits behind the site's editorial standards. She has run the newsroom since 2024. The job is unglamorous and mostly administrative in the best sense: she assigns every casino review and market page, sets the brief for each writer, and signs off the final fact-check before anything goes live. Nothing publishes on LSM99 without passing across her desk. She owns the editorial policy, the scoring methodology and the corrections process, which means when a rating is wrong she is the person who has to answer for it.
