ScatterKings awarded MGA Critical Gaming Supply licence to scale B2B distribution

ScatterKings has been granted a Critical Gaming Supply licence by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), giving the studio official B2B authorisation to distribute its proprietary slot content to licensed operators across Europe and other regulated markets. The licence follows ScatterKings' official market launch in 2025 and forms the regulatory basis for its planned international rollout.

Licence and market scope

The MGA licence provides ScatterKings with permission to supply games to licensed operators in Malta and supports distribution into wider European and other regulated jurisdictions. The studio said the regulatory approval complements its existing distribution framework, which uses operator partnerships and aggregator channels.

Distribution strategy and commercial deals

ScatterKings' current commercial strategy already includes a working relationship with aggregator Hub88 and a recent commercial agreement finalised with Stake. The company intends to use the MGA authorisation to scale distribution for its flagship titles, naming Coins Forged In, Big Bob, and Coins of Cleo among the initial rollout priorities.

"This is a milestone the whole team can be proud of, and I’d like to thank them for the hard work and commitment that made it possible. Securing our MGA licence gives us a stronger foundation to grow alongside our partners, build new operator relationships and bring our games to more players across regulated markets," said Steve Cross, Chief Commercial Officer at ScatterKings.

Positioning and compliance

Obtaining a Critical Gaming Supply licence from the Malta Gaming Authority remains a recognised benchmark for compliance, technical standards and player protection. ScatterKings described the licence as strengthening its ability to integrate with tier-one operator networks and established aggregation platforms, supporting a smoother B2B rollout following the studio’s 2025 market entry.

Next steps

With the regulatory framework in place, ScatterKings plans to broaden the market reach of its slot portfolio via partner channels and aggregator integrations. The company specifically highlighted scaling distribution of Coins Forged In, Big Bob and Coins of Cleo under the new MGA authorisation.
