According to the Cyprus-Mail message, in the near future Cyprus expects an interdiction for online poker.

The bill of imposing of an interdiction for online poker and a casino has been approved by country parliament. That the law has definitively come into force, it should be approved the European commission.

The government of Cyprus has decided not to follow the lead of Italy and France where online гемблинг is under state control, and to go the a way.

The Minister of Finance of Cyprus has declared: «In our country for the certain reasons there is an interdiction for creation of usual casinos, therefore the decision on legalisation online of a casino and poker румов would be not absolutely consecutive and logical from our party».
