There are two key regulators in the Republic of Cyprus: the National Betting Authority (NBA) - licenses bets (Class A - land, Class B - online bets), and Cyprus Gaming & Casino Supervision Commission (CGC) - oversees land casinos (integrated resort and "satellites").
Online casinos, poker and virtual slot machines are not allowed; only online sports betting is legal under the Betting Act 2012 (as amended).
Age thresholds vary: 18 + for bets and 21 + for casino visits.
To protect players, a registry of locks nelіtsenzirovannykh domains/payments and a centralized self-exclusion platform NSEP (NBA directive 18/2024) are used.
CGC publishes entry and responsible play requirements for casinos; the regime applies to territories controlled by the Republic of Cyprus.
