Mozzartbet Group will shut down its Malta-licensed Mozzart.com operation on October 1, 2026, as the betting company concentrates its business on jurisdictions where it holds local licences.
The closure will bring an end to Mozzartbet Malta Limited’s operation of the international .com brand under a Malta Gaming Authority licence, which has been in place since March 2019. The decision also covers the affiliate programme attached to Mozzart.com.
Partners were notified of the move on August 27. Mozzartbet said the withdrawal forms part of a management strategy to prioritise locally regulated markets rather than continue operating the international site under its Malta licence.
Mozzart.com will remain active until September 30. Affiliate commissions will be calculated on qualifying activity generated up to and including that date, while links connected to the programme will subsequently be disabled through the MyAffiliates platform.
The Malta Gaming Authority’s official register currently lists Mozzartbet Malta Limited as licensed under B2C licence MGA/B2C/606/2018. The authorisation covers fixed-odds betting, including live betting, as well as casino and lottery products, and lists both Mozzart.com and Mozzart.bet among the approved URLs.
Mozzartbet stressed that the change is limited to the business operated through Mozzart.com under the MGA licence and does not represent a broader withdrawal from its other regulated markets.
Operations in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kenya, Nigeria and North Macedonia will continue under local licences. Affiliate programmes serving Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kenya and Nigeria are also set to remain unchanged.
The group also has a presence in Romania and Ghana, although those markets were not specifically covered by the affiliate notification announcing the Malta exit.
Mozzartbet Malta Limited is registered in St Julian’s, while the wider group is headquartered in Belgrade. The business was established in Serbia in 2001 and has since expanded across several European and African regulated gambling markets.
The October closure therefore marks a narrowing of Mozzartbet’s international operating structure rather than an exit from regulated gambling altogether, with the company directing its resources toward markets where its brands operate under domestic licensing frameworks.
