Mozzartbet Group has announced it will stop operating under its Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licence and discontinue the Mozzart.com brand from 1 October 2026. This change directly affects players who currently use Mozzart.com under the MGA licence, which the operator has held since March 2019.
The company informed media partners on 27 August about the planned closure of the Malta-licensed platform. Mozzartbet Malta Limited has managed Mozzart.com under the MGA licence for over seven years, providing regulated betting services to an international customer base.
Players using Mozzart.com should prepare for this transition by reviewing their accounts and withdrawing any remaining funds before the licence expires. After 30 September 2026, the platform will no longer operate under the MGA licence, and access may be restricted or discontinued. This means players could lose access to their accounts or face delays in withdrawals if they do not act promptly.
With the discontinuation of the Malta-licensed Mozzart.com domain, Mozzartbet will no longer offer services through this specific platform. Players may need to migrate to other Mozzartbet-operated platforms that hold different licences. It is crucial for users to verify the licensing and regulatory status of any alternative platforms to ensure they continue to benefit from consumer protections and responsible gambling safeguards.
The MGA is widely regarded for its strict regulatory standards, including fair gaming practices, data security, and responsible gambling policies. Players who rely on the MGA licence for these protections should be aware that these will no longer apply to Mozzart.com after the licence termination. This could affect players in jurisdictions where the Malta licence is recognized as a benchmark for regulatory oversight.
Account management during this transition is a key concern. Mozzartbet has advised players to withdraw funds and resolve any outstanding issues before the licence expires. As the closure date approaches, customer support availability and withdrawal processing times may be affected, so timely action is recommended to avoid complications.
In the broader context of the betting industry, consolidation and regulatory changes continue to shape the market. For example, Lottomatica Group recently announced plans to merge with CIRSA Enterprises through an all-share transaction. This deal aims to create a leading platform in Italy and Spain, reflecting ongoing shifts in European betting markets (SBC News).
Meanwhile, regulatory discussions are active in other regions. New Jersey has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to clarify whether prediction markets fall under federal commodities law or state gambling regulations. This legal uncertainty highlights the complexities players and operators face with emerging betting products (CDC Gaming).
