The Malta Gambling Commission has issued a statement confirming that it has not issued a licence to Lock Poker, despite the site displaying the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority logo on its homepage.
The LGA stated that it "has no connection whatsoever with the Authority and therefore any mention of the Authority or licence issued by the Authority on the mentioned website is false and misleading." It also urged the public to "play responsibly with companies licensed by jurisdictions that have sound remote gaming regulations."
There is speculation as to why the LGA has singled out Lock Poker, which is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, as other gambling sites on the Merge Network including Black Chip Poker, Hero Poker and Overbet all display the Malta logo and have reportedly had no objections.
