Slot Games in general: What does "you are leaving Maltese legislation" mean?

Andrew789 asked the following very interesting question in another thread, for which I opened a separate thread:

Why do some games when I play them say "This game is operated under a Curacao license" or something like that, even though the site has a Malta license. I think it was an "Edict" game. Dragons-Treasure. These games are safe if the site has a Malta license right? So just saw this earlier briefly on Videoslots. I do not know the site well, but is recommended here yes. But of course I believe you that it is safe

Quasar sometimes says "You are leaving the MGA jurisdiction" or something like that. Are certain games on the same site more insecure? I think not, but I just want to understand

Really interesting question. But I have never really thought about it or researched it.

I only know why at sunmaker / sunnyplayer the Merkur games have a Curacao license, while at stake7 and Platincasino they are licensed in Malta.

With the above casinos, this has some political reasons, although I'm not so 100-percent see through, if I'm honest.

If you look at Stake7 and Platincasino (the casinos do not belong together) in the terms and conditions, then you will come across the following point:

Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 5, we do not accept bets from the United States of America, from Germany and from Turkey; accordingly, you represent and warrant that you do not reside in any of these countries and that you will not use or access the gaming platform or the Services while in any of these countries.

This provision in the terms and conditions at Stake7 and Platincasino apparently comes from Gauselmann himself. He always defends his gaming arcades in public and says that with a ban, people will then use illegal casinos or migrate to the Internet, where you can lose much more, blablub. If it should come now times to inquiries, it would refer evenly to the AGB's with Stake7 and Platincasino and say that German players would be excluded. He would say that you can not control whether there are also German players play and so on ... (Polit-Kindergarten just)

In practice, of course, no players are excluded at the above casinos (because otherwise casinos that only offer Merkur games would be broke). In other countries, Merkur is unknown and the shoddily implemented online versions also create no incentive for said players. This clause has never been invoked in disputes. Even when it was about 160.000€, see: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/merkur-casino-verweigert-auszahlung/

Sunmaker and Sunnyplayer used to have this provision in there as well. For whatever reason, they may delete this regulation if the games are licensed in Curacao.

That is all I can say on this subject. Maybe someone here knows more?

To come back to your question: In case of disputes, the Maltese supervisory authority is of course responsible for you, for example when it comes to payouts.
