SALARY
SURVEY
2023 Edition

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the 2023 Edition of the
Boston Link Malta iGaming Salary Survey.
Now in our 8th year of production and
averaging 25,000 downloads annually, the
Boston Link Salary Survey has become the
definitive guide to iGaming salary
benchmarking in Malta.
Every year we analyse the current state
of salaries across the iGaming industry
covering Executive Level, Operations,
Marketing, Product, Technology, Finance
and Legal & Compliance. Our goal with
this report is to provide valuable insights
that can help both employers and job
seekers make informed decisions about
hiring, employee retention and career
development.
The iGaming industry continues to see
tremendous growth; driven by
advancements in technology, shifting
consumer behaviour, and changes in
regulatory landscapes.
SS 23
It is essential that companies operating
in the iGaming industry stay
competitive in terms of salaries and
benefits to attract and retain top
talent. We have examined new roles
and expertise that has been in demand
in the last year.
This annual report is a free report,
which can be downloaded by anybody
interested in our data. Due to high
demand, we also do tailored bespoke
salary surveys within companies and
departments priced and produced at
your request. Please get in touch with
me if this is of interest.
