🌐 Cyprus will intensify the fight against illegal gambling
Panayiotis Trisokkas, head of the National Betting Authority, said the new bill should give the regulator more tools to combat the illegal market and strengthen player protection. He hopes the document will move forward quickly but did not specify concrete timelines. According to him, 22 660 sites have already been added to the regulator’s blacklist. In the second quarter of the year alone, the list grew by 245 addresses.
Trisokkas emphasized that countering illegal platforms requires cooperation between the state, technology companies, and payment providers. He specifically mentioned social networks, influencers, and digital advertising, where it is increasingly difficult to distinguish entertainment content from the promotion of gambling. Artificial intelligence and data analytics, he said, can help detect risky behavior earlier, provided data protection requirements are respected.
