Casinos in Cyprus: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Regulation
In Cyprus (the Republic of Cyprus) online casinos with games such as slots and roulette are banned: only online and land-based sports betting is legal under the National Betting Authority (NBA), while online casino games are outlawed. The land-based sector, however, received a powerful boost: the integrated resort City of Dreams Mediterranean near Limassol is billed as one of the largest casino complexes in Europe, supplemented by a network of satellite casinos across the island. Separately, in the north of the island (the unrecognised TRNC) there is a distinct gambling market with casinos for tourists. The currency is the euro; bank cards, transfers and e-wallets are used. This material is informational: players should note the ban on online casinos and the legality of only betting and land-based venues.
