Wherever you are - Cratos casions, Paphos casinos, Limassol casinos will be equally accessible and reckless.

Nicosia is also ready to offer its guests this kind of entertainment, you can even play the casino offline. But the list of online casinos here is very, very limited due to legal restrictions and the special status of the territory. Keep this in mind when planning your holiday in North Cyprus.
National Betting Agency (NBA)
Cyprus has established a separate agency to monitor fair play compliance in casinos and bookmakers. It should also issue licenses, but in fact only 9 of them were issued, and the process stopped there. But officially Cyprus is now a regulated platform, which gives access to the international game. As elsewhere, there are age restrictions - persons under the age of 18 cannot play.

Fans of online games in Cyprus prefer games that can be conditionally divided into two large groups:

- Entertaining games typical for Cyprus as a resort island - light, gambling. These are Durga, Fairy Tail, Fa Kai Shen, Tycoons, Aztec Treasures, Colossal Gems and so on.
Slot machines are also popular, as in other countries, but the specificity of the island is still reflected in the themes of the most popular ones - you can notice an increased interest in machines with the theme of Greek gods, treasures, and ancient history. Although devices such as Thunderstruck II and Starburst do not lose their popularity among Cypriots and visitors to the island.

The moment I clapped eyes on my favourite video poker table game, I signed up and got stuck in to a play money game. I made a packet, bagging 5000 chips. After that win, I felt right as rain about playing video poker for real money. So, I put down $100 on video poker and cracked on. Real money games are a different kettle of fish; everyone plays their cards close to their chest, unlike the play money crowd. I lost a good chunk - $40 - in just 15 minutes. I was chasing my tail and playing a bit like a bull in a china shop. But then I started watching the other players, kept my chin up, and played it cool. I turned that $40 into $60, then $80, and it just kept going up. Of course, there were the usual ups and downs, but I stayed focused and kept at it. I played until evening, about 8 hours that day. And would you believe it, I ended up with $465! I was over the moon when I finally called it a day at the table. I'd played alongside roughly 15-20 other players.
I really had a whale of a time playing video poker there. The game's graphics are top-notch, and I also liked the player information provided by the casino, which was spot on. I didn't find anyone letting rip at others. The players at this casino are also good sorts and entertaining.
I took out all my winnings via Skrill, and I had no bother at all with the withdrawal. This casino is truly a bit of all right. The only thing I didn't take to was the lack of live chat support. They do have a toll-free phone line and email support, but I reckon live chat support would be just the ticket too. Still, everything else at this casino is up to scratch. All in all, it's a simple, entertaining casino.
The 20% cashback offer certainly stands out in the market; it's quite the game-changer. I'm inclined to say it's my top pick among casinos to date.
The support team consistently goes above and beyond.
The document upload process is a breeze.
I've always been one to give the website interface a good once-over, and that hasn't changed a lick whenever I'm checking out a new casino. In that department, bets.io is really hitting it out of the park. It's easy as pie to navigate, makes perfect sense, and all the variety is laid out in a way that you don't have to go on a wild goose chase trying to find something! A real stand-up app, a heck of a lot of games, and withdrawals that are quick as a bunny make this brand my top banana.
Now, after being properly verified, I requested two withdrawals within 24h of each other. Both were processed within 12h of my request and I received 2 email transfers simultaneously after about 24h. Cash in hand. Amazing.
p.s. If you hit a free spin feature on the mega ways slots, you're gonna have a good time! Nothing to dislike! If you play in Canada, you should give these guys a try. I've stopped playing on other sites due to the absurdly long time it takes to get your funds.
Live chat helped me all the time I need.
