Description
Cyprus has become a major operational hub for iGaming companies, but the regulatory picture is more nuanced than most operators assume — the National Betting Authority only licenses online sports betting, while online casino games remain unlicensed domestically and are typically run under Malta or Curaçao licenses instead. This page unpacks that distinction before diving into what a casino payment gateway actually needs to handle: card declines on gambling MCC codes, e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, cryptocurrency rails, and bank transfers, all backed by fraud tools tuned for gambling transaction patterns. It also compares integration paths — direct API, hosted pages, and white-label setups — and explains how chargeback representment works for casino-specific disputes. For operators building payment infrastructure around Cyprus, it's a detailed, regulation-aware breakdown of what a working setup actually requires.
