Where iGaming companies are based in Malta

The main iGaming office clusters are in:

  • St Julians (Portomaso, St Julians Business Centre): The most concentrated area. Several major operators have offices in or near Portomaso tower.
  • Swatar / Birkirkara: Second major cluster, particularly for larger operators with more space requirements.
  • Sliema: Some operators, smaller offices.
  • Valletta: Regulatory and legal firms, some smaller operators.

Languages most in demand

Customer-facing roles need specific language combinations. The most consistently in-demand languages for iGaming customer support and CRM in Malta:

  • German — consistently the highest demand, reflects Germany’s large online gaming market
  • Italian — large Italian player base in the regulated markets
  • Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish) — premium markets
  • Portuguese (Brazilian and European)
  • Dutch, Spanish, French
  • English — required for most roles in addition to a second language

Non-EU workers: employer must sponsor permit

If you are a non-EU national, your iGaming employer must apply for your Single Permit through Identità Malta. Most established iGaming companies in Malta have done this before and will manage the process. Confirm this with the recruiter before accepting an offer. See the Single Permit guide for the process.

How to get into iGaming in Malta

  1. Apply on iGaming-focused job boards. iGaming.com, iGamingRecruit, CasinoJobs, and LinkedIn are the main channels. Standard job boards (Indeed, Glassdoor) also carry Malta iGaming listings.
  2. Approach Malta-based gaming recruitment agencies.Specialized iGaming recruiters in Malta carry roles that are not always publicly advertised.
  3. Apply directly to operators. Most major operators — Kindred, LeoVegas, Betsson, Everi, Playtech, Evolution, and others — have careers pages. Browsing these directly can surface roles not on job boards.
  4. Highlight transferable skills. Payments experience, fraud background, compliance from any financial sector, and multilingual customer service are directly transferable.

Background checks and licensing

iGaming operators in Malta are regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Employees in certain roles may need to pass a background check as part of the operator’s licensing obligations. This is standard and not a barrier for most professional applicants. The operator will guide you through this as part of onboarding.
