About

MaltaPoker.info is the only magazine entirely dedicated to poker in Malta.

Why?

Poker has started in Malta in 2007 and, since then, it has kept on growing. The island is now a premium poker destination in Europe and there are some good reasons for that:

Malta is a strong touristic destination in Europe, with a unique historic heritage, sunny beaches and a very active nightlife.
Malta has a strong gambling culture, with four established casinos, many bingo halls or slot machines outlets, and a liberal stance on offshore gambling licenses. More than 200 gambling companies, including some of the biggest in Europe, are based in Malta.
Conveniently located at the center of Europe, less than 2 hours away from almost any big European capitals, Malta is now included in several major professional poker Tours, notably European Masters of Poker (EMOP) and EuroCity Poker Tour (ECPT).

For all these reasons, we strongly believe that Malta and the poker game have a bright future altogether. MaltaPoker.info is the one-stop meeting point for everything poker in Malta.
