Deloitte Gaming Pulse Survey

This survey is designed for you. Your input will directly shape how Malta positions itself as a leading, future-ready gaming hub. The survey has been built with operators, for operators, and is structured around four core pillars that drive competitive performance.

• Financial Performance: Benchmark your profitability, efficiency, and investment focus against peers to identify where you can unlock margin and scale in Malta.
• Technology: See how your tech stack and innovation bets (AI, crypto, data, automation) compare, and where the next wave of sector shaping investment is going.
• Human Capital: Understand how operators are tackling talent shortages and retention, and what’s working to make Malta more attractive for gaming professionals.
• Compliance & Emerging Markets: Gain clarity on how peers are managing evolving regulation and entering new markets, strengthening your compliance position and helping to pave the way for smoother, more attractive strategic M&A transactions.

Respondents will receive:

• Invitation to the next Deloitte Gaming Pulse event: Navigating the next wave – An exclusive event where survey outcomes will be presented and discussed, including a granular view of the challenges and opportunities faced by Malta-based gaming operators.
• Deloitte Gaming Pulse: Insights – A consolidated Malta-focused report with anonymised trends, benchmarks, and industry insights. The report is designed to help operators identify where they stand versus the market, support strategic decision making, and strengthen Malta’s position as a leading gaming hub.

The survey takes approximately 30 minutes in total. It can be completed in full by one person, or each of the sections can be separately distributed to the appropriate person within your organisation, taking each person only 5 to 10 minutes per section. 

According to the Malta Gaming Authority, the iGaming sector remains one of Malta’s cornerstone industries, contributing an estimated 7% of Malta’s GDP in 2024. The industry is critical to the country’s economic growth and competitiveness. But growth brings complexity. Operators are facing unprecedented pressure to innovate, comply, and compete, all while managing talent shortages and rising costs. This survey takes the industry’s pulse at this moment. The insights will help the industry, regulators, and policymakers understand where support is needed and where the sector is thriving.
