Quick recap: researcher Lilith Wittmann had access to CGA’s licensing portal for nine months and pulled 84,000 documents covering roughly 650 licensed operators. CGA confirmed it on September 17 and launched a forensic investigation.

October 7, the portal got permanently shut down. That announcement also quietly ended the relationship with the company that built and ran it — the former head of the Malta Gaming Authority. Times of Malta reported that connection on October 12.

Now MAN party leader Giselle Mc William is demanding the CGA director resign. Her argument is that the breach, the portal shutdown, and the Galea connection together raise serious questions about how the regulator was being run.
She’s also put forward proposals: licence fees should go directly to government rather than through the CGA, the replacement portal should go through open public procurement with local companies involved, and contractor oversight needs to be independent.

None of it is policy yet. CGA says it’s working on a replacement system but hasn’t said when or how it’ll be procured.
For operators: existing licences are valid, obligations continue, verification still works at cert.cga.cw.

The procurement process for whatever comes next is the thing worth watching.
