MALTA AND THE GAMING INDUSTRY
The Republic of Malta has been an important financial hub for many decades, and in 2004, it became one of the first EU member states to implement a legislative framework for the online gambling industry. Over time, it has become Europe’s biggest and most reputable gambling hub, with more than 9,000 jobs, and is home to the most renowned brands in the world.
In 2014, eMoore crossed the ocean from Curaçao to establish its office here, which currently employs over 15 people and has carried forward its brand promise by becoming one of the island's most respected corporate services providers.

Setting up a company on these islands means setting up in a country that is part of the European Union. Being in a recognized jurisdiction makes obtaining a bank, merchant, or PSP account and conducting business with other entities easier.
There are several laws and requirements to remember when incorporating a company on the islands.
LOCAL
PRESENCE
Registered address: The address of the company must be in Malta.
Management: The director can be either an individual or a company, a local or a foreigner. Due to legal, tax and banking reasons, we recommend having a director and company secretary residing locally; however, this is not compulsory. We can assist with both options and provide director and company secretary services.
