MAGLA strongly advises the public to desist from participating in unlicensed gaming and betting operations and to only engage with licensed operators. Unlicensed operators pose serious risks to players, including:
- Lack of consumer protection
- Unfair gaming practices and
- Loss of winnings with no legal recourse
Participation in unlicensed gaming and lottery activities is strictly at players’ own risk. Furthermore, MAGLA sternly warns all unlicensed operators that conducting gaming and lottery activities without a licence is illegal. Anyone found in breach of the law will face severe legal consequences in accordance with the Gaming and Lotteries Act.
MAGLA remains committed to protecting the interest of Malawians and ensuring that all gaming and lottery activities are conducted in a fair, transparent and regulated environment.
