Lawmakers in Malta passed the bill in June, but it needs to be approved by the European Commission to become law. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The proposed bill amends Malta’s gaming regulations. One proposed measure prevents courts from awarding damages to plaintiffs, where the reason for the lawsuit concerns activities permitted by the operator’s MGA licences.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
