Licensing And Regulatory Scope At GeniePlay
GeniePlay operates under an online gambling license issued by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), under the Remote Gaming framework. The license sets the minimum standards for game fairness, handling of player funds, identity checks, and complaint handling.
