Play for fun. Set your limit. Stick to it.
When the limit is reached, walk away.

As we commemorate Africa Safer Gambling Week 2026, MAGLA reminds all players that betting should be a form of entertainment, not a source of income.

Gambling involves risk, and there are no guaranteed wins. Set limits, play responsibly, and only stake what you can afford to lose. Together, let's promote a safer and more sustainable gaming environment for all.

On Wednesday, 13 August, a delegation from the Malawi Gaming and Lotteries Authority (MAGLA), led by Director General Muchanankhwaye Mpuluka, met with officials from Angola's Gaming Inspection and Regulation Service (ISJ) to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions and promote the exchange of regulatory knowledge and best practices in the gaming and lottery sector.

The meeting, chaired by the Director General of the ISJ, Nerethz Tati, provided an opportunity to exchange views and reflect on the gaming sector, with particular focus on the regulatory challenges faced by the two African counterpart institutions and on opportunities to strengthen institutional cooperation.

During the meeting, the possibility of establishing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the ISJ and MAGLA was also discussed, with the aim of enhancing institutional cooperation and mutual technical assistance.

This initiative is of particular importance given that a significant number of operators active in the Angolan and Malawian markets operate in both countries. Strengthened collaboration between the two regulators will support more effective and coordinated regulation of the sector.

The meeting therefore reaffirmed the commitment of both institutions to promoting a gaming sector that is increasingly safe, responsible, transparent and well regulated through the exchange of knowledge and best practices.
