Legal situation in Cyprus

Online gambling in Cyprus is governed by the Betting Law of 2019 (Law 37(I)/2019), as amended in 2020 and 2024, and supervised by the National Betting Authority (NBA). The law allows betting through licensed operators: Class A licences cover betting at physical premises and Class B licences cover online betting. Online casino games are not licensable, and the NBA states that the operation of online casinos is strictly prohibited. Lotteries and certain other games of chance fall under separate legislation.

The country's only legal casino gaming is land-based. It is regulated by the Cyprus Gaming and Casino Supervision Commission under the Casino Operations and Control Laws of 2015 to 2022, which define a minor as anyone under 21 and bar minors from casino games.

Online casino play is illegal in Cyprus for all operators, and players who take part face criminal penalties.

Check any betting site against the National Betting Authority's register of Class B licensees. The National Self-Exclusion Platform (exclusion.cy) covers licensed online betting operators.
