QA Engineer (iGaming), Malta & Cyprus, middle: €3 000–4 200 per month gross · SpinHire data as of
What the role involves
QA in iGaming carries more weight than ordinary testing because the cost of a bug is measured in money and in the licence. You test game rounds and their recovery, the wallet, bonus mechanics, responsible gambling limits, localisations and the requirements of specific jurisdictions. Automation engineers write tests in Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, or at API level; a separate track is preparing builds for external certification.
