National Betting Authority Cyprus Publishes Updated List of Authorised Agents and Licensed Premises

The National Betting Authority Cyprus has released its updated list of authorised betting agents and licensed betting premises, as stipulated by the Betting Law of 2019 (Law 37(I)/2019). The list, available on the Authority’s official website, details current Class A and B betting acceptors, authorised representatives, and approved locations. This measure ensures continued transparency and regulatory compliance in the Cypriot betting market.

Regulatory Context for Authorised Agents and Licensed Premises

Cyprus regulates betting through the Betting Law of 2019, formally referenced as Law 37(I)/2019. Articles 29 and 50 of this law require the National Betting Authority Cyprus to maintain and publish an up-to-date list of all entities permitted to operate in the market, including Class A and Class B betting acceptors, authorised agents, and licensed premises. This ensures participants in the betting and gaming ecosystem have clarity on who holds regulated status.

Scope of the Published Catalogue

The published catalogue encompasses multiple segments:

• Class A betting acceptors: Entities licensed to operate land-based betting shops.
• Class B betting acceptors: Entities authorised for online betting activities in Cyprus.
• Authorised agents: Individuals or businesses empowered to act on behalf of licensed operators.
• Licensed premises: Physical locations where betting activities are legally conducted.

The list is reviewed and updated at defined intervals to capture any changes such as new licences granted, suspended operations, or revoked authorisations. The National Betting Authority Cyprus confirms that the official version can be accessed and downloaded via its website.

Transparency and Compliance Under Law 37(I)/2019

Maintaining and publishing an up-to-date register of licensed entities is a statutory obligation under Law 37(I)/2019. This requirement enhances transparency for operators, investors, and the general public. It also supports regulatory supervision by allowing easy verification of compliance for all parties operating or engaging with betting services in Cyprus.

Periodic updates can include:

• Additions of newly licensed entities
• Removal of operators whose licences have expired or been revoked
• Amendments to the status or details of previously listed agents and premises

"As per Articles 29 and 50 of the Betting Law of 2019, the Authority must post the catalogue of Class A and B acceptors, authorised agents, and licensed premises on its website. It is updated at regular intervals." — National Betting Authority Cyprus

Implications for Operators, Agents, and Players

Operators, agents, and customers are advised to consult the current list published by the National Betting Authority Cyprus for confirmation of licensing and authorisation. For operators, inclusion confirms valid status and market access. Investors and B2B partners may rely on the catalogue for diligence and partnership vetting. The Authority’s strict publication requirements aim to minimise regulatory uncertainty and reduce unlicensed or unauthorised activity in the jurisdiction.

Ongoing Monitoring and Market Developments

The National Betting Authority Cyprus reiterates that the published list forms the baseline for monitoring betting market activity. Frequent updates, together with visible accessibility, reinforce the Authority’s oversight of the Cypriot market. Operators and customers should reference the current register to avoid engaging with unlicensed or unauthorised entities, as this may carry legal and financial risks under Cypriot law.

The Authority’s ongoing commitment to regular publication supports ongoing compliance, market clarity, and lawful conduct across all aspects of betting in Cyprus.
