iGaming licensing in 2026 — what changed
The iGaming licensing landscape changed materially in 2024–2025. Curaçao's entire master/sub-license system was abolished on December 24, 2024, replaced by direct CGA licensing under the LOK framework. Malta's MGA introduced new capital requirements in May 2025. The regulatory bar for iGaming licenses globally is rising — operators who invested in proper licensing through credible jurisdictions are gaining competitive advantage as unregulated and sub-licensed operators are forced to restructure.
Zitadelle AG helps operators navigate both legacy restructuring and new applications.
