Maltese regulator elected to IAGR board
LGA chief regulatory officer joins board of gambling regulator association.
Dr Joseph F. Borg, chief regulatory officer of the Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) of Malta, has been appointed to the board of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR).
Borg joined the LGA as director of legal and enforcement in 2007 and was promoted to his current role in 2010. As a board member of the IAGR, which elected Susan Hensel as its first female president in November last year, he will participate in and lead workshops examining land-based and online gambling.
LGA CEO Reuben Portanier commented that the appointment was an endorsement of the regulator’s status in the gaming sector:
“Having Dr Borg elected on the IAGR board by gaming regulators from around the world is a recognition of LGA’s global reputational standing, and a manifestation of trust in Dr Borg. I am sure he will be the region’s voice within one of the most influential international regulatory fora and shall be an ambassador of the Maltese online gaming regulatory model and approach,” Portanier said.
