SLIEMA, Malta Its a Friday night at one of Maltas larger upscale hotels in a fishing village turned sprawling town called St. Julians, and in the ballroom on the lower ground floor a woman in a silver dress is performing a not-quite-acoustic set, seated beside a guitarist whose long, dark hair is pinned back by a pair of sunglasses.
So good, so good, she sings. Ive got you. Before her are two dozen tables of wine bottles, tuxedos, and dresses. Most of the male guests appear middle-aged and some are mildly intoxicated, while the women present are mostly younger. A large advert at the side of the stage proclaims that a digital consultancy called MYC will ensure that your business images are distinctive, bold and respected. We can be extraordinary, together, it adds, helpfully.
In the foyer outside, another tall display features the name of a group established by the Maltese government and the countrys gambling regulator to promote the island as a destination for businesses that develop, market, operate and profit from online gambling websites and apps. In front of that, a small strip of red carpet has been unrolled, where a photographer waits, lights raised high on stands, to capture the departing guests.
Four older men in jackets, all clutching awards, surround a woman in a dark top. The event photographer snaps several formal group shots, then grabs a spotlight in one hand and, with the other, rattles off a short series of photos on proffered smartphones. There are high-fives and backslaps, and a young British guy in a grey jacket enters stage right, shouting I won it to a possible acquaintance with a beard and a large disc earring, before walking on and quickly pulling out his phone, suddenly oblivious to the surrounding melee of hugs, squeals and whoops.
The evenings Malta iGaming Excellence Awards had recognised excellence in a variety of categories, including top software platform provider for web-based betting and online gambling CEO deemed best most effective, friendliest, or whatever, its unclear. The Intercontinental St. Julians may not quite rival Los Angeles Dolby Theatre, the traditional venue for the Academy Awards, but Malta has in recent years become to online gambling what Hollywood has been to the movie industry, drawing entrepreneurs and executives from across the European continent to this sun-blasted island. The EUs smallest member state is home to one of the worlds greatest gambling booms since 1960s Vegas.
Someone who has enjoyed a front-row seat to Maltas blockbuster growth is Emanuel Eman Pulis, a club promoter turned conference planner, whose own career transition mirrors the transformation of the St. Julians neighbourhood that he describes fondly as a former mecca for nightlife, clubs, bars. Its early afternoon and outside the temperature has just spiked to 30 degrees Celsius, as he offers a fist-bump before heading into his frigid conference room. He takes a seat under the fluorescent lights, his tan contrasting with the white piping on the collar of his dark blue Ralph Lauren polo shirt.
I used to be a party organiser, he says. I ditched that because I realised the only people who were spending money buying bottles at my parties were the gaming crowd. His attachment to the dance party life ended conclusively during the summer of 2012, at an enormous house music event inside a venue called Amazonia. About 7,000 tourists and locals were enjoying a set from headliners Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, the half-Greek, half-Belgian fraternal DJ act thats collaborated with artists ranging from Wiz Khalifa to Paris Hilton. In the partygoers midst an elevated area served as the VIP bubble, which Pulis realised was full of Swedish, Norwegian, Scandinavian, great-looking people having a great time, he recalls, smiling. They were having fun on their own, spending a tonne of cash. And I realised I needed to be in that bubble. He pauses, tucking his long, well-conditioned hair behind his ears, drawing attention to several small scars on the side of his left eye. Why waste time bringing 10,000 people to my party when I can just focus on these few 100 people? he says with a smile.
The free-spending swarm of Scandinavians and other Northern Europeans had been drawn to Malta by an online gambling law passed several years earlier that provided the fledgling industry with legal protections and operating rules, which did not yet really exist anywhere else. You can come to Malta, Pulis says, summarising the official message from local authorities at the time, and have the peace of mind that we're not going to arrest you next day because you're operating illegally.
Since then, tens of thousands of coders, marketers, game designers and gambling fanatics have settled in a handful of neighbourhoods that extend north along a series of coastal inlets from the capital Valletta, with names like Ta Xbiex, Sliema, St. Julians, Paceville and Pembroke reflecting the islands unique history of Arabic, Catholic, and British influences. And that vast workforce in this chain of former villages has helped create what many of the gambling executives VICE World News spoke to inside and outside Malta described as a formidable ecosystem that they hope will secure the islands place as a longtime constant in the world of online betting. The exponential growth that derives from this kind of congregated talent and expertise is what business strategists like to call a cluster effect.
And while gambling revenues have undoubtedly boosted the countrys tax revenues, their consequences are often most visible in concrete. Lots of it. Pulis now runs well-attended annual conferences centred on internet gambling that depend on industry participants from around the world travelling to Malta, but hes also not blind to the local economys extraordinary transformation over the past two decades. It did change the landscape of the Maltese islands, he says of the new nexus. Restaurants don't struggle anymore, and the real estate market shot up, especially in certain areas.
Sandwiched between two small bays named for figures of Catholic devotion, St. Julians and nearby St. Georges, the Portomaso marina development includes a subterranean casino that has hosted European poker tournaments and live events for some of the worlds largest gambling operators. It was one of several luxury projects thrown up to cater to Maltas burgeoning expat population, and the family behind it has ridden the islands boom to become one of Maltas wealthiest. That makes sense when high-end real estate agent Trevor Gauci Maistre starts describing the increases to the areas sale and rental prices, while sitting at the edge of the sprawling Portomaso estate, outside an elegant cafe. Its all tidy palm trees and high-priced espresso, and its named for the two owners, who made appearances in offshore leaks known as the Panama Papers.
Maistre is charming and candid about his success over the past 20 years in the explosive commercial property sector, attributing it to sometimes hard work, but also the right place, right time. He closes around six or seven deals a month and three-quarters of the rental market is iGaming. He says that in one five-year period, an internet gaming company he worked with went from spending 6,000 (about 5,000) a year on its office lease to 200,000 (about 168,000). In the Sliema neighbourhood, a promontory just down the coast, some prime commercial building rents have almost quadrupled, from 160 (about 135) to 600 (about 500) a square metre. And for those looking to buy high-spec homes, the values of most nearby residential properties have doubled, even tripled since 2015, Maistre says. Inside the complex looming over the estate, a large three-bedroom penthouse apartment with a sea view might have been worth 200,000 15 years ago but will now sell for 10 times that amount.
At a new office building nearby, one of his clients a Swedish-owned gambling firm rents a floor with dozens of desks in several rows, and large windows at one end. Its Malta-based workforce totals 150, half of them local citizens and 32 other nationalities among the rest. There are hundreds of millions of rules in Sweden, says Marie Theobald, the companys Maltese head of HR, explaining why so much of the operation is here. Its not worth it for a company of our size. She sounds confident her own firm remains committed to the island, but expresses concern about the potential for public corruption in her homeland. Companies are not as tied down in Malta as they used to be, she acknowledges, for the reasons that first attracted such firms, like minimal taxes and low wages. She pauses and casts around for other explanations for their continued presence, and comes up with good schools and flight connections. Besides that, the weather?
Robert de Marco is the companys chief financial officer, a relaxed older man whom Theobald jokes is the office grandfather, since hes twice the age of many of the younger game designers. Leaning in a doorway between the open-plan space and a well-appointed kitchen area, he laughs at the evolution of the industry. During his first trip to a big internet gambling confab in London many years ago, it was guys in ponytails and tattoos, he remembers. Now its all suits.
Few participants in the iGaming industry lament that shift, but the easy money in Malta has had a broader impact on its reputation, says Alexandre Tomic, founder and chief executive of a gambling provider called Alea. Raised in France of Serbian heritage, he had planned to travel to Malta for a conference this summer. But COVID-19 kept him at home in Barcelona, where on a video call he runs through several notable instances of malfeasance involving the islands financial sector.
In the volatile period that followed Libyas uprising and the death of Muammar Gaddafi, European investigators reported Maltese authorities had done very little to determine the origins of more than a quarter of a billion euros in cash that arrived on the island during 2013, of which they found substantial amounts were used to buy yachts and properties. More recently, prosecutors in Sicily and southern Italy have repeatedly linked arrested individuals to gambling-business licences in Malta several of which were subsequently revoked.
And then there was the closure in late 2018 of Bulgarias Satabanks Maltese operations. The islands financial regulator took unprecedented action to shutter the institution, with an extraordinary directive that insisted the bank could no longer welcome new customers, take fresh deposits, or process withdrawals. Assets were seized, paperwork forensically examined, and an independent auditor placed in charge of all operations, after investigators identified that safeguards designed to prevent terrorism financing or criminal financial chicanery at the bank were lax and at times inexistent. The European Central Bank eventually withdrew the Bulgarian-owned banks licence in mid-2020, and while under the control of auditors it was late last year forced to pay hundreds of thousands of euros in fines to Maltas financial regulator.
But perhaps a greater challenge to operators in Malta, Tomic explained, will happen away from the island, with the introduction of gambling regulations in countries like Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, where until relatively recently Malta-approved firms could legally target customers. The island hosts and licenses dozens of businesses that operate online casinos and sports betting sites marketed to gamblers all over the world, known as B2C (business to consumer) firms. But there are also hundreds of licensed ancillary suppliers like game providers, platform providers and payment providers that are contracted by those operators, known as B2B (business to business) companies. Tomic argues the larger B2C companies wont stay much longer in Malta, since it no longer offers the low cost of living and correspondingly low wages of a decade ago, and will instead move portions of their workforce closer to their consumers, to newly regulated countries like Germany or Sweden. Who's going to stay in Malta? He asks rhetorically of B2C businesses, before answering his own question. The dodgy ones who are going to try and address unregulated markets.
Those unregulated markets include countries like Brazil and Argentina, where there are no laws on the statute books that govern online gambling, at least for now. But at least half a dozen people with a professional interest in Maltas online gambling sector acknowledged that more and more developing countries will eventually introduce iGaming regulation. This would hamper companies licensed in Malta from targeting their citizens legally, limit the number of accessible players, and thereby reduce the benefits of holding a Malta gaming licence. And that could mean, argues Tomic, that Malta becomes simply a back-office hub for internet gambling, with its low taxes offering some measure of protection for the profits of B2B companies.
His own business, Alea, allows online casinos to access thousands of prefabricated games through its portal, and he insists its location in cosmopolitan Barcelona is an attractive consideration for would-be employees. The workforce hes previously encountered in Malta was under-motivated lazy was the word he used with young employees of the larger firms drawn by the beaches, parties and corporate perks. They move from one company to another without learning anything, he says, calling it an industry of spoiled kids who were earning an insane amount of money.
His Norwegian friend, Tobias Svensen, turns 30 this year, and as one of the youngest gambling CEOs on the island, he largely agrees with that characterisation of his peer group. Boasting a minor belly and a major beard, hes often bullish about his own prospects, having left a role running a team of 35 telemarketers near Oslo when he answered an online advert for a job in Malta five years ago. Less than five months after he arrived, he was overseeing all Norwegian gamblers on his employers platforms. I actually got promoted into the management group while I was technically still on my probation, he says with a laugh. That's a cool story.
The Bosnian waiter at the steakhouse where Svensen sat greeted him cheerily and, without producing a menu, listed some of the Norwegians preferred dishes, including a generous cut of wagyu beef. Svensen explained that his full-time focus, recording video feeds of internet gamblers to usher interested viewers through to online casinos themselves, had once been merely a side project. He began to use YouTube and Twitch to garner traffic and eyeballs, and these efforts won him enough recognition that he began attending conferences from London to Las Vegas, Amsterdam to Asia, often as a speaker. When I realised that it's a serious and achievable goal to actually end up in my position within years, he continues confidently, I did put a lot of effort into making sure that you network and hang out with the right people. He went to great lengths to stress that the networking opportunity in Malta is amazing.
Its a network that exists, at least in part, thanks to Olga Finkel. Shes a computer scientist from Kharkiv, Ukraine, who long ago moved to Malta for personal reasons she doesnt race to divulge.
Her 60-person law firm was the first to specialise in servicing internet gambling companies in Malta. It has since helped hundreds of businesses apply for, win and, during several regulatory disputes, retain their gaming licences. In a bright orange conference room, she explains her role in designing much of the legislation that governs online gambling in Malta, but she doesnt hesitate to highlight what she considers past deficiencies in its application.
She recalls a time in the mid-2000s when she used to accompany officials from the islands gambling regulator to buildings that hosted her clients gaming servers. Theres all kinds of security cameras everywhere, she remembers noticing, as the designated functionary went around marking individual servers each one had to be located in Malta with numbered stickers, designed to seal them from possible tampering something that now seems absurd. Fifteen years ago, the industry was an unruly, impulsive teenager, she says, suppressing laughter. Now its a responsible adult. Some firms do see their licences revoked by the islands regulator, though are some of the unruly teenagers she mentioned still kicking about? You can't guarantee anything 100%, obviously, Finkel responds. "But by and large, I think it is a very serious regulated industry. These days, with the use of cloud storage and blockchain, there is no cash that they give you across the table, she said of online gaming firms. It's not allowed and it's not possible. Everything is traceable, everything is checked. Any problems with the islands international reputation these days are simply clouds'' that will go away at some point. We just hope, she says, it will happen sooner rather than later.
Outside Finkels building, a few yards from the waterfront, a line of boats glints in the heat from a cloudless sky. Across a small dusty park is a kiosk selling chartered water tours around the capital Valletta, visible in the distance on the right. A striking jumble of sandy-coloured buildings on a peninsula, it was constructed in the 16th century by the Knights Hospitaller, a Christian organisation originally established to help sick pilgrims in the Holy Land, which later grew wealthy plundering foreigners vessels offshore.
Its early afternoon in Siggiewi, a hilltop town in the islands northeast. The houses lining the streets are butter-yellow, with beautifully carved doorways, and shutters drawn they are mostly silent, with only agricultural trucks juddering past and occasionally overwhelming the quiet speech of Robert Aquilina. Hes a public notary but also president of a civil society group called Repubblika, which advocates for greater political transparency in Maltas democracy. Compared to the baking tarmac outside, his office is as cool as his own demeanour, with a long glass-fronted cabinet, traditional tiled floor and a small wooden table.
The discussion focuses on the public corruption that several iGaming executives have by now mentioned, and he is narrating the example of a former attorney general who ultimately resigned. When faced with requests to investigate a Maltese bank for illicit transactions, he had advised senior police officers to act with caution because, as he paraphrased, this could create problems in the country. The banks Iranian founder was later charged by US prosecutors with bank fraud and money-laundering, though he was subsequently acquitted. Aquilina points to another case where the office of Maltas then-chief of gambling regulation had helped prepare documentation on behalf of a casino operator as part of a casino license renewal application. In any other civilised country, that would lead to prosecutions, he says, matter-of-factly, of such collusion. In Malta, there is no interest at all from the police force. Aquilina is not alone in Malta for demanding that people of integrity should apply the islands laws, but it sounds like an often lonely task, given the sense of decay of values in public life that he describes. What wasn't acceptable 10 years ago now is acceptable.
Tal Izhtak Ron is a keen student of the intersection of Maltas gaming sector and its governance. The only thing that we are reading all the time, he tells me from Tel Aviv, "is regarding what's going on with the politics. That is actually, actually, actually just causing damage to the reputation. As the named partner in an Israeli law firm focused on online gaming, with clients across Europe, including Malta, he says none of the criticism should matter. Everybody's praying that Malta will continue being a hub on the B2C operation, Ron says, that banks will continue to work and the money will be continued. And however much reputational damage or competition from other jurisdictions the island faces, he is adamant successful gambling executives and workers, just want to stay in Malta because Malta is like an ecosystem.
Authorities this summer sought to further strengthen that ecosystem, introducing a digital-nomad visa scheme that allows freelancers from outside the EU to work from the island for up to a year, so long as they can prove a sufficient source of income. This should attract more affiliates or affiliate marketers to the island. Theyre another important constituency in the internet gambling world bloggers, influencers or vloggers, like Norwegian video gambling aficionado Svensen who take internet users on their own sites and usher them through the virtual doors of online casinos.
On the Thursday night of a three-day internet gambling conference this summer, as the sun began to set, a seventh-floor rooftop played host to another awards dinner for online slots developers. Nearby was Ivan Filetti, an advertising executive working at Maltas main iGaming trade body, who described several educational programmes that had been created to prepare young Maltese for a job in the gambling sector. Several of the larger firms on the island had established academies or graduate training programs, like large banks on Wall Street or tech giants in Silicon Valley. The Malta College of Arts, Science & Technology meanwhile had signed an agreement with the gambling regulator to offer the countrys 18-year-olds a one-year diploma in iGaming, with classes on data analysis, marketing, SEO, Filetti said. "The cowboys will always exist, he said, unprompted. But they won't last here forever. Moments later the countrys top regulator sat down to the far side of Filetti, in a cream summer jacket without a tie, a reminder once again of the islands small-town feel.
The host, an English woman named Trudy, welcomed the crowd to the awards ceremony, which, she enthused, represents all that is great about online games and casino. The first category was Game Performance Slot Studio Debut and a parade of competing companies logos and game titles whooshed up one by one on a big screen at the back of the stage. A firm called Alchemy Gamings Wheel of Wishes slot emerged as the first winner, and a woman behind that effort clasped her award and a bottle of champagne on stage, thanked the crowd from the mic, then made sure they knew her games payout was "17.5 million presumably in euros. Give it a try.
In a Hollywood twist, the companies that design these games are known as studios, but COVID meant not all studio heads had made it to the event in person. A Swedish executive appeared by pre-recorded video, followed by an Englishman in a white shirt who mumbled his gratitude. A retro-style game called Rainbow Riches Race Day, from a company called SG Digital, was described by the judges as a slot game that really pulls you in, and one they did not want to stop playing, surely a key quality in an industry often criticised for encouraging addiction. Depeche Modes Personal Jesus heralded the winner of best art and design, called Dinopolis, which its designers explain takes players into a world that could have been, had dinosaurs continued to live on. A check revealed the slots were decorated with anthropomorphic dinosaurs dressed like the denizens of Rat Pack-era Vegas.
The crowds applause was faltering slightly by the time a British executive in a red seersucker suit, pink waistcoat, polka-dot handkerchief in his top pocket and blue suede shoes approached the stage for a game called Cherrypop his companys other nominated titles were Tikipop and Hippopop, forming part of an arcade slotscape that sees African chimeras come to life, merging with a kaleidoscope of sculpted totems and mysterious Amazonian landscapes. The Michael Jackson track Smooth Criminal played as a woman handed him his champagne bottle, and at that point just a handful of award categories remained.
Game marketing streamer of the year was one of them. And Svensens firm Casinogrounds was announced as the winner. Svensen sauntered up to the front of the gathered tables before bounding on stage with a massive grin. He thanked the nights party planners for doing a great job and returned to his seat. After the final category was announced, to a huge cheer from the relevant table, all the winners were invited back up on stage for further photographs, cameras flashing from several angles at once. Svensen stood there beaming in the glare, alongside nine women in more glamorous attire than his own white T-shirt, before fist-bumping his fellow winners as they stepped down off the platform. Later on he could be found in conversation with several others. The networking looked amazing.
