Franco De Gabriele, the representative of National Lottery at the EL Congress and General Assembly in Croatia, expressed his gratitude for the positive response. He remarked, “Full membership in EL marks the end of what has been a watershed year for National Lottery and the start of a new and exciting chapter for the company.”
“We are very appreciative of the positive response that all members of European Lotteries have shown towards us. We have been operating the national lottery of Malta for just under a year and, in this timeframe, have worked incessantly to provide the local market with an innovative lottery service embracing the core values of EL. We ensure that our service is provided in a safe environment, in full respect of the responsible gaming measures adopted by members of EL.”
