Following the stipulations of the law, betting services are offered to persons who have a gaming permit from a designated commission. Therefore, in Cyprus, online gaming casinos should hold a license issued by the NBA. There are two types or classes of permits that are issued under the provided law;
- Class A - betting takes place in licensed places
- Class B - involves online betting only
Class B licenses are granted following the stipulations found in Electronic Betting Services. However, this excludes gaming machines of small benefits, electronic gambling on horse races, and lucky online gamblers. Gaming machines of little benefit are mostly poker machines or other similar devices which play cards. Remember here that the National Betting Authority can also include any other gaming device.
