unified self-exclusion system for land-based operators, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is set to embark on an- other ambitious project which will lead to the implementation of a unified self-exclusion system for all its Remote Gaming licen- sees. Today, remote gaming opera- tors licensed by the MGA are already obliged to offer self- exclusion tools to their players; however, there is no unified sys- tem in place, and an excluded player can seek the services of different operators, while being excluded from some others. The Authority is conscious that this is a gap in the protec- tion offered within its regulated environment and is committed to working towards a system which will give the possibility to players to self-exclude across all licenced gaming channels, be it land-based or remote. "The protection of players is at the heart of the MGA's regu- latory agenda, and this project further underlines our resolve to ensure that players have the necessary tools to engage in gam- ing services responsibly. Over the years we have witnessed ef- forts from gaming operators to implement various responsible gaming measures, and thus we strongly believe that the unified self-exclusion system will be well received by the industry and consumers alike," said Heathcliff Farrugia, Chief Executive Officer at the MGA. In addition, the Authority will also be evaluating the possibil- ity of opening up the system for subscription on a voluntary basis to operators licensed in other jurisdictions; always ensuring a robust protection of data, in line with the GDPR. The MGA is conscious that the implementation of such a system requires careful and considered analysis in order to ascertain that the solution design will meet the intended objectives. To this end, the Authority shall assess the suitability of a range of technical solutions for such a system over the coming weeks, including the possibility of leveraging Distrib- uted Ledger Technology (DLT). Such technology has the poten- tial to provide an ideal platform for this system due to its inherent characteristics of immutability and decentralisation. The Authority will proceed to announce its considerations for public consultation, followed by a call for requests for the techni- cal development and implemen- tation of the solution. TOP Chinese IT companies on Malta visit MEDITERRANEAN Heart Malta Business is a Chinese owned Malta registered company specialising in servicing Visa Residency applicants under the Malta Residency Visa Pro- gramme. Mediterranean Heart has been operating in Malta since 2009 and operates from two Offices one in Gzira Strand and one at the Valletta Waterfront. It employs more than 30 persons and envisages substantial growth given the success and attrac- tion of MRVP. Mediterranean Heart is now extend- ing its operation for the promotion of blockchain and cryptocurrency pro- jects currently being spearheaded by Malta Government and the MFSA. This results from great interest being shown in these developments from Vi- sa Programme clients who are keen to participate in Malta's vision of being the jurisdiction of choice for block- chain and crypto currency. Mediterranean Heart recently ar- ranged a visit for delegations from top range internet companies from China including LKC, a blockchain technol- ogy application platform. Chinese investors met with delegations from OPM and MFSA led by Parliamentary Secretary Silvio Schembri and CEO Joseph Cuschieri respectively. The delegates were impressed by Malta's offerings and determination to gain first mover advantage, and more tangible results should be expected when the proposed legislation be- comes effective.
