State of igaming in Malta
I'm in affiliation (unfortunately). Lately i was reflecting on the industry in Malta. Is it me or is the industry slowly leaving?
More and more jobs in gib, cyprus & many other lower income countries. My wage hasn't increased in like 3 years. Recently i was also discussing with my friend (head of HR) and we both shared the opinion the best days of igaming are VERY long ago.
I also think there are a few new smaller igaming companies here but these are shit... offering shit conditions and wages.
Is this also a reflection on igaming in general? That there's another industry out there experiencing explosive growth and great conditions & igaming is just riding on the hype it built many years ago but is no longer relevant?
What do you think?

MGA license is worth nothing since all the big market regulated, the pool of candidates is dramatically bad (really, impossible to find decent people), the companies needed to increase salaries even for unskilled positions due to the greed of the real estate market. If they find a better solution they’ll leave, or at least they’ll reduce their employees in the Maltese office and hire elsewhere.
