Online gambling in Cyprus

Class B licences cover approved online betting services. The National Betting Authority’s register shows the operator, licence number and current status. The Betting Law separately prohibits online casino games, including roulette, poker and slots. A Class B betting licence must not be presented as casino authorisation.

Verify the exact service

Match the legal company and domain to the current Class B register.
Confirm licence status and avoid products outside betting scope.
Check the illegal-gambling information and blocking list.
Avoid mirrors, unofficial apps and payments to personal accounts.

Payments and complaints

Use a payment method in your own name and keep statements, bets and messages. Read identity, bonus and withdrawal rules. Complain to the bookmaker in writing and contact the Authority for licensing or illegal-service concerns. Notify the bank immediately if fraud is suspected.

Responsible gambling

The national self-exclusion platform covers licensed Class B bookmakers. Set strict money and time limits, never borrow and do not chase losses. Use exclusion and Safer Gambling support when control weakens.
