Only eight months into his managing position at the Lotteries and Gaming Authority in Malta, Joseph Cushieri regulates a market that contributes to the state budget with €52 millions; thanks to the horizontal connections, this amount increases to €150 millions per year.
While visiting our country, he gave us a long, interesting and sparkling interview. Joseph Cuschieri mentioned the main issues that the gambling industry in Malta confronts with and the new markets that need to be opened for the licensed local operators. He also talked about the Romanian gambling industry that he thinks to be of a huge potential and of a great interest for the Maltese people. Another issue in the interview was the practical manner of cooperation between the Romanian and Malta authorities in gambling, either land-based or online.
The responsible gambling and the necessity of educating the target people have also been considered during the interview with Mr. Cushieri and his advice for the ONJN officials and the Department of Finance in Romania has proved his humor sense and his good knowledge about the gambling industry in our country.
Similarly, Joseph Cushieri has brilliantly answered some trap questions and he addressed a few words in exclusivity to the readers of our publication.
All the above and much more in the Casino Life & Business Magazine issue 56 in September, in a marathon interview that you do not want to miss, if you like to be in the know about the objectives of the Romanian regulatory authorities and what else is happening in the gambling legislation of the (maybe) leading country in this sector.
