Is an MGA licence as good as a UK licence?

Close, and stronger than most alternatives. Both require fund segregation, both have real enforcement records and formal complaints routes. The UKGC goes further on affordability checks and on GamStop, which is a mandatory national scheme the MGA has no equivalent of.

How do I verify an MGA licence myself?

Search the licensee register on mga.org.mt by company name. Check that the status is active, that the licence class covers casino, and that the holder matches the company named in the operator's terms of service.

What does an MGA licence not cover?

It does not make an operator lawful in a market with its own national regime. An MGA-licensed operator serving Swedish or Dutch players without a local licence is breaching local law, and you would have no local protection there.
