Requirements – What Do You Need to Get Hired?
One of the most appealing things about becoming a Game Presenter in Malta is how accessible the role is. Let's break down what you actually need.
Language
This is the single most important requirement. Studios need presenters who can speak specific languages fluently because they serve players in regulated markets around the world. English fluency is almost always required as a baseline, and beyond that, fluency in one or more additional languages makes you significantly more attractive. The most in-demand languages in Malta's live casino studios include Italian, German, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, French, Turkish, Japanese, and Greek, though demand shifts based on market expansion.
Experience
None required. Yes that is true and I can confirm this. The major studios explicitly state that no prior casino experience is needed. They will train you from scratch in their in-house academy. What they're looking for is the right personality and language skills, not a resume full of dealing experience.
Age and Legal Requirements
You must be at least 18 years old. You must be legally eligible to work in Malta, which means EU/EEA citizens can start working immediately, while non-EU citizens will need to secure a work permit. The studio's HR department will typically assist with this process. You'll also need to pass a background check, as the gaming industry is heavily regulated.
Personal Qualities

Studios look for candidates who are presentable, articulate, energetic, and comfortable in front of a camera. You should be a team player, adaptable to shift work including nights and weekends, and able to handle a fast-paced environment. Basic math skills are helpful, especially for games like Blackjack and Roulette where quick mental calculations are part of the job.
What You Do NOT Need
You do not need a university degree. You do not need a dealing school certificate. You do not need previous casino experience. You do not need to live in Malta already, as most studios offer relocation support packages.
♠️ My Insider Tip: If you're applying from outside Malta and you speak a language the studio needs, you are in a strong position. Studios will often help with flights, temporary accommodation for the first few weeks, and guidance on obtaining your residence documents. Don't let logistics scare you off.
