On 31 March 2025, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) issued a formal public notice declaring 17 URLs associated with God55's online casino as unauthorised. This followed an investigation by Insider Sport and iGaming Expert that revealed God55 was displaying MGA licensing badges without holding any MGA licence.

The MGA confirmed it has no official connection with any of the 17 listed God55 URLs. The regulator stated these websites display MGA logos and reference MGA licensing, which is 'false and misleading.' The MGA logos used by God55 were outdated and did not link to any verifiable certificate.

The MGA reminded consumers not to use services from any entity unless they have confirmed it is properly authorised. The authority noted that unlicensed entities operate outside the regulatory framework, meaning players have no consumer protections.

The MGA warning came immediately after God55 was announced as Birmingham City FC's official Asian betting partner. Tom Brady holds a minority stake in the club. The partnership announcement was subsequently removed from Birmingham City's website after the licensing controversy emerged.

The UK Gambling Commission stated it would verify that sites promoted by football clubs have effective measures preventing British consumers from accessing them. Clubs could face prosecution under Section 330 of the Gambling Act 2005 for partnerships with unlicensed operators.

Investigators also checked PAGCOR and the Curacao Gaming Authority databases. No valid God55 licence was found in either database, despite the operator displaying logos from all three regulators.

• What did the MGA say about God55?

  The MGA declared 17 God55 URLs unauthorised and confirmed it has no licensing connection with the brand. Any claim otherwise is 'false and misleading.'

• Is God55 listed in any regulatory database?

  As of the March 2025 investigation, God55 was not found in the MGA, PAGCOR, or Curacao Gaming Authority licence databases.

• What happened to Birmingham City's partnership with God55?

  The partnership announcement was removed from Birmingham City FC's website shortly after the MGA warning was issued. The UKGC warned the club about its obligations.
