Three registers, one method

MGA casinos without a Swedish licence: register, holder and status per operator

The registers of Malta, Curaçao and Anjouan show who holds a licence, what status it carries and which domains it covers. Here is how to search them and what they showed for the operators in our ranking.

An MGA casino without a Swedish licence is an operator holding a permission from the Malta Gaming Authority but no Swedish licence. Whether the permission comes from Malta, Curaçao or Anjouan, the same rule applies: the number in the footer is the operator's own statement, and it is the authority's register that shows whether the statement holds. This page goes through the three registers and what they showed for the operators in our list.

None of the licences in the ranking is Maltese today. They come from Curaçao and Anjouan, and one operator publishes no number at all. The method below works the same way for a licence from Malta, though, and it is worth knowing before you deposit anywhere.

For Vave and each of the ranking's 12 operators: what the operator's own list of restricted countries says about Sweden. “Sweden stands in the list of restricted countries”: the operator's own list names Sweden. “Sweden is absent from the whole list”: the whole list has been read on the operator's own page and does not name Sweden. Lists read 26 August 2026 – 8 September 2026; the source stands in each cell's help text.

Searching the Maltese register

The Malta Gaming Authority publishes a register of its licence holders, and that is where a claim of a Maltese licence should be checked.

Do this when a site claims to hold an MGA licence:

  1. Copy the number and the company name from the footer or the terms, exactly as they stand.
  2. Search for the company in the register. Check that the company exists and that the entry shows a valid licence.
  3. Compare with the contracting party. The company you find in the register ought to be the one the terms name as your counterparty.
  4. Check the brand. A licence belongs to a company that may run several sites, so check that the very domain you mean to play on is tied to the licence.

If the entries do not match it is not certain that anything is wrong, but it is a reason to ask the operator in writing and to hold off on the deposit until the answer comes.

The question is therefore less about Malta as a country and more about the number, the company and the domain hanging together. Those are the same three entries that decide in the Curaçao and Anjouan registers further down the page. What a licence inside the EU and the EEA means in a broader sense is gone through on the page about European licences.

Six operators from the ranking, chosen among those whose documents fill this page's columns; the figure is the place in the ranking. Read 24 August – 12 September 2026.

Curaçao: the certificate portal cert.cga.cw

The Curaçao Gaming Authority shows its certificates in a portal at cert.cga.cw. The search works from domain or company name, not from a licence number, so if you only have the number from the footer you have to start with the web address instead. Every certificate shows holder, number, status and the domains covered.

The domain list is what most often decides. Vave's certificate, OGL/2024/1676/0905 in the name of Latcas B.V., listed a single domain on 12 September 2026, vavegame.com, while vave.com was missing. The status is the second point to read. Rocketpot's terms give 1668/JAZ in clause 1.2, and in the portal the same number stood as “not valid” on both 12 and 13 September 2026.

Anjouan: the public licence register

The Anjouan register at anjouangaming.com shows, for each licence, the company, the number and the status, when the licence was issued and when it ends, and which domains it covers. It is one of the fuller registers, because the domains stand directly in the entry.

Two things are worth reading closely. The first is the domain list: the entry for Metlait SRL, the number ALSI-202509073-FI2 that Wild Fortune uses, covers 29 domains, and wildfortune.io was among them on 12 September 2026. The second is the expiry date, which has to be read together with the status. The licence ends on 29 September 2026, and one entry we read in the same register stood as valid although its printed expiry date had already passed. Read both columns, then, not only the status.

Licence status, operator by operator

The table shows what the terms and the registers said about Vave and the twelve operators in the ranking. The dates give the day the register was read.

TrustDice————

A few rows need a comment. Metaspins has two authorities that do not agree: the terms point to Anjouan, the register in Curaçao to Metaspins N.V. Wild.io has an active certificate, but the company on the certificate and the company in the terms are different. Jack.com, formerly Jackbit, changed its name on 29 May 2026 and has its own certificate for the new domain.

How the licence is weighed in as one of five criteria, and what scores the operators received, is shown by our comparison with a fact box per operator.

Malta compared with Curaçao and Anjouan

The three registers answer the same basic questions: who holds the licence, what status it carries and which sites it covers. The differences lie in how you search and how much the entry shows.

  • Malta: you search on the company in the authority's register of licence holders and compare with the contracting party in the terms.
  • Curaçao: you search on domain or company name in cert.cga.cw, and the certificate lists the domains.
  • Anjouan: the entry shows domains, date of issue and last day of validity in the same view.

No register shows how an operator handles withdrawals, bonuses or support. That stands in the terms, which is why our four other criteria concern the identity clause. Anyone who wants the whole picture, with licence, cashier and terms in one place, will find it in our guide to foreign operators.

Sweden in the operators' restricted-country lists

Most operators carry a list in their terms of countries where the service may not be used. The figure on this page shows, for Vave and the twelve in the ranking, what each list says about Sweden, with clause and date of reading. This is the only page on the site where that entry is reported.

Such a list is part of the agreement. If your country stands in the list, an account from there breaks the terms, even if the registration goes through without trouble. The operator may then close the account, void play and hold winnings back. Wild Fortune writes in clause 2.4, for instance, that players from listed places have no right to a refund or a withdrawal.

The lists can also be several and of different lengths in the same document. Rocketpot has two lists, in clause 3.1 and clause 2.1.11, and they do not cover the same countries. Read the whole terms, then, and not only the first list you find.

The lists change over time as well, so the date of reading in the figure is part of the entry. Check the terms again before you open an account, and ask the operator in writing if anything is unclear. How we read and date the terms is described in our method. Every register with its address is under sources and the dates of the checks.

What to do with the entries

A register gives you three things: the right company to approach, a status to follow and a domain list to compare against. Keep the details before you deposit, because they are what you cite if a case gets stuck.

For every operator you use, this is worth writing down:

  • the licence number and the name of the authority
  • the company in the register and the company in the terms, where they differ
  • the domain you are playing on and whether it stands in the entry
  • the status and any expiry date, with the day you read the register
  • the terms in the version you accepted when the account was opened

Questions that come up in the forums, about closed accounts and documents that are not accepted, are put to the terms in a separate walkthrough of forum questions. Which of the operators received their licence most recently is shown by the page about the newcomers and their licence dates. The whole ranking stands in the list with Vave at the top.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an MGA-licensed casino in your ranking?
Not at present. The licences in the ranking come from Curaçao and Anjouan, and Rainbet publishes no number. If an operator with a Maltese licence enters the list we check the number and the company in the Malta Gaming Authority's register in the same way as we do in cert.cga.cw and the Anjouan register, and the change is entered with its date.
How do I look up a Curaçao licence number?
The portal cert.cga.cw searches on domain and company name, not on licence number. Start with the web address of the site you want to play on. The certificate that comes up shows holder, number, status and the domains covered. If the domain is not listed, as vave.com is not on Vave's certificate, it is worth noting which address the certificate actually covers.
What does "not valid" in the Curaçao portal mean?
It is the status the portal showed for the certificate at the reading. Rocketpot's number 1668/JAZ, which stands in clause 1.2 of its terms, carried that status when we looked it up in September 2026, on both the 12th and the 13th. A status can change, so read the entry again before you deposit and ask the operator in writing what the number refers to.
What happens if my country is in the operator's restricted list?
Then an account from there breaks the terms, even if the registration goes through. The operator may close the account, void play and hold winnings back. Wild Fortune writes in clause 2.4 that players from listed places have no right to a refund or a withdrawal. The figure on this page shows what the lists say about Sweden.
Why do two different companies stand for the same site?
A certificate and an agreement can point to different companies. Wild.io is an example: Nonce Gaming B.V. is the holder according to the certificate, Stack Gaming Ltd according to the terms. Metaspins' terms point to Anjouan, but the certificate that exists in Curaçao stands in the name of Metaspins N.V. We report both entries without choosing, and you should ask the operator who your counterparty is.
