888 has applied for a gaming licence in Malta due to Brexit uncertainties over Gibraltar. The Gibraltar-based company is concerned about the impact of the UK’s departure from the European Union on the British Overseas Territory, which is home to many of the world’s leading e-gaming and sports betting firms.

Bet365 is reportedly considering relocating its Gibraltar operations to Malta after the UK leaves the European Union (EU).

Malta’s gaming industry looks set to benefit greatly from Brexit, picking up the business lost by Gibraltar, experts have told The Associated Press.
