CSB Group
Product sources reviewedIdentity partially verifiedCSB Group has a current Malta iGaming practice that coordinates MGA B2C and B2B applications and offers related company, compliance, accounting, tax, IT-readiness, key-person, and continuing support. A named GameArt announcement independently identifies CSB support on a B2B application, and the MGA register confirms that Gameart Limited's resulting supplier license remains current.
CSB Group is a Maltese brand over several companies. CSB International Limited controls the current website and engagement data, while the group assigns corporate, trustee, advisory, property, nautical, and support work to separate entities. The contract must identify the company and qualified professional responsible for each iGaming workstream.
CSB Group Malta Gaming License Support
Multi ProductMixedAvailability: Standalone and BundledCSB Group has a current Malta iGaming practice that coordinates MGA B2C and B2B applications and offers related company, compliance, accounting, tax, IT-readiness, key-person, and continuing support. A named GameArt announcement independently identifies CSB support on a B2B application, and the MGA register confirms that Gameart Limited's resulting supplier license remains current.
Delivery crosses a brand with several legal entities and outside providers. CSB International Limited controls current website and engagement data, but the public site does not establish that it signs every licensing, corporate, legal, tax, audit, key-function, bank, payment, or hosting engagement. Each provider and professional must be named in the responsibility schedule.
The client remains applicant, licensee, operator, and merchant of record. MGA decides the application, approved natural persons hold key functions, and banks, payment providers, auditors, laboratories, and hosting partners make their own decisions. Historical MFSA evidence supports CSB International's company-services registration in 2018, not its current 2026 status or every group claim.
Integration: The engagement should identify every CSB group company and outside provider, the applicant and licensee, license class and game types, player markets, responsible partner, legal counsel, corporate-services authorization, named key-function people and certificates, IT auditor and laboratory, bank, PSP, hosting provider, regulator-portal authority, documents and data, official and professional fees, referral compensation, authority limits, conflicts, milestones, acceptance, regulator questions, rejection and remediation scope, DPA and subprocessors, retention, liability, renewals, termination, and handover. Public sources do not establish one universal entity, package, fee, timeline, success rate, or legal privilege model.

- ! The privacy policy was last updated in 2020 and does not map current group entities or processors. Obtain a workstream-specific DPA, transfer mechanism, retention schedule, and deletion process.
- ! The current Anjouan page is materially inconsistent with current Comorian evidence. Exclude that route and require an explanation of the counterparty, legal basis, and commercial relationship.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current group page names CSB Holdings Ltd, CSB International Ltd, CSB Trustees & Fiduciaries Ltd, CSBL Advisory Ltd, and other separate companies with different stated roles. Current authorization claims on that page remain vendor-reported unless matched to the relevant regulator.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current policy identifies CSB International Limited as controller for website and service-agreement data, describes KYC, financial, communications, and engagement information, and refers to global service providers without publishing a current subprocessor or transfer schedule. The policy says it was last updated in November 2020.
- Government of Malta, Commerce DepartmentFilingchecked 2026-07-12— Current 2026 Malta IP register extract identifies CSB International Ltd, company C38923, at Tower Business Centre in Swatar as a representative. It corroborates current operational identity and address, not company-service-provider authorization or every group service.
- Malta Financial Services AuthorityRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— Official May 2018 newsletter records issuance of a company-service-provider registration certificate to CSB International Ltd. This is historical evidence only; obtain a current Financial Services Register result before relying on present authorization or scope.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current Malta iGaming page describes B2C and B2B application coordination, Malta company work, compliance, accounting, tax, key-function support, banking and payment introductions, IT readiness, and partner-supplied hosting. It does not identify one contracting entity for every line.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current service page describes review and compilation of an MGA application and liaison during the process. It does not establish one price, decision time, approval rate, or regulator endorsement.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current page offers named-person key-function support. The company does not itself hold a person's MGA key-function certificate, and every role, person, capacity, approval, independence, and conflict must be verified separately.
- Malta Gaming AuthorityRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— Current official B2C application material establishes the regulator and applicant process. CSB can support the application but does not issue the license or replace applicant accountability.
- Malta Gaming AuthorityRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— Current official B2B application material establishes the critical-gaming-supply route and regulator boundary. It is not evidence that CSB itself holds an MGA supplier license.
- Malta Gaming AuthorityRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— Current official page establishes that key-function approvals and certificates belong to natural persons. A CSB service label cannot replace verification of the named person's approval and continuing fitness.
- GameArtVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Named client announcement dated February 15, 2023 says GameArt obtained an MGA B2B Critical Gaming Supply license and thanks Roger A. Strickland Jr. and CSB Group for support through the application. It does not quantify CSB's contribution, price, or timing effect.
- Malta Gaming AuthorityRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— Current MGA Dynamic Seal lists Gameart Limited under MGA/B2B/966/2022 for Type 1 casino critical supply. It independently confirms the named client's current license, not CSB's causal contribution or a universal success rate.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current accounting page says CSB services can include processing or approving transfers and bank-signatory roles. Those powers require account-specific authority limits, dual control, player-fund segregation, logging, liability, removal, and exit terms.
- CSB GroupVendorchecked 2026-07-12— Current page presents the claimed Anjouan route as a valid international gaming authorization with fast approval and broad scope. Those claims conflict with current Comorian and GIABA evidence and are excluded from this verified Malta module.
- GIABARegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— GIABA's July 2026 second enhanced follow-up leaves applicable the country analysis that the Union of the Comoros prohibits gambling. This supports excluding CSB's Anjouan claims from verified licensing routes.
