Platin Gaming

Platin Gaming is an iGaming software company with its Malta office in Gżira, on the Sliema side of Marsamxett Harbour. It builds and licenses the technology that online casinos and betting brands run on, including slot games, a live dealer studio, sportsbook software, virtual sports and complete white-label platforms. The company has been operating since 1995 and employs more than 50 developers and technicians from around the world.

This is a business-to-business supplier, so it is relevant to operators, investors and professionals following Malta's gaming industry rather than to visitors looking for a night out. For that, see our directory of casinos in Malta. For background on the sector, read our iGaming in Malta guide.

Licence and regulation

Platin Gaming holds a Critical Supply Service Licence from the Malta Gaming Authority, granted on 1 August 2018, covering B2B Type 1 and Type 2 services. Its sportsbook software and back office are regulated by the Authority. It also operates in licensed markets including Lithuania, Spain, the Isle of Man, Latvia and Estonia, and its platform includes responsible gaming tools such as age verification and self-exclusion.

Operators weighing up where to base a gaming business can compare this with the Malta financial services sector and the corporate tax structure that applies to companies on the island.

The platform is built with compliance in mind: know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering checks, responsible gaming tools and regulatory reporting are included, and the sportsbook is pre-configured for several regulated markets. Operators in the United Kingdom should still confirm their own licensing position with an adviser, because supplying software and holding a local licence are separate matters.

Games and live casino

The company's own slot catalogue is developed in-house, with more than 100 titles available in many languages, and it also builds custom-branded slot games on request. A flagship title is Pyramid Treasure, and Gold of Goblin is another premium release. The live casino studio uses the company's own dealers and offers roulette, blackjack, baccarat and card games popular in India, such as Teen Patti, Andar Bahar and Dragon Tiger.

A game aggregator gives operators one connection to thousands of third-party titles, so a brand can combine Platin's own games with outside providers.

Live tables run around the clock and stream in high definition, with dealers speaking several languages. Slots are built to run on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers, and the games load quickly on every screen size. Operators can also ask for a game made around their own brand, from theme and artwork to logos and colours.

Sportsbook, white label and retail

The sportsbook covers pre-match and in-play betting across dozens of sports, with a trading tool, risk controls and cash-out and bet builder features. The white-label option is a full operating platform with branding, payment solutions, an admin dashboard, risk management and licensing guidance, and the company quotes a launch in weeks rather than years.

For physical venues, the land-based range includes self-service betting terminals, casino cabinets, shop management software and customer cards. An affiliate platform helps operators manage marketing partners.

Integration follows four steps: a consultation about the target market, configuration of branding and odds, API integration tested in a staging environment, and a launch with dedicated support. Technical support is available at all hours, and each operator has a dedicated account manager.

The Gżira office

The Malta office is at 109 Sir William Reid Street in Gżira, close to the seafront and to the hotels of Sliema, which you can browse in our guide to hotels in Sliema and Gżira. Companies planning to establish or relocate a gaming business in Malta often work with advisers such as CLA Malta for company, tax and relocation matters.
