If your business combines sports betting and casino, resolve the product boundary before selecting a platform or paying a license fee. A shared wallet and front end do not turn separate activities into one permitted product.
Fees, capital and the guarantee are different commitments
The NBA's published requirements include the following figures, checked on October 17, 2026:
| Item | Published amount |
|---|---|
| One-year Class B license | €30,000 |
| Two-year Class B license | €45,000 |
| Minimum issued and paid share capital | €500,000 |
| Bank guarantee | €550,000, extending six months beyond the requested license period |
These figures come from the NBA FAQ. Capital and a bank guarantee are not interchangeable with a non-refundable service fee. The bank's collateral requirements determine how much cash the guarantee ties up; do not automatically add its face value to share capital and describe the result as cash permanently spent.
Build separate budget lines for the license, guarantee costs and collateral, corporate operation, technology, advisors and pre-launch cash. This makes proposals comparable without disguising financing requirements as setup fees.
Prepare the applicant and the technical file together
The NBA describes eligibility for a company limited by shares, registered in Cyprus as a domestic or foreign company, with betting as its main activity. Its requirements also include a backup server in Cyprus. Use the current application forms to establish the full file for your circumstances.
For the technology work, map the permitted betting products to account verification, payments, restrictions, reporting and the server arrangement. An acceptance review should trace a bet from funding through acceptance, settlement and the resulting account and reporting records.
Ask the implementation team to show how an excluded account or product is prevented from proceeding. A written policy is useful only if the relevant system and operating process implement it.
Resolve current tax treatment before pricing the business
The NBA FAQ states a 10% betting tax and a 3% contribution on net betting earnings. Earlier site material also referred to a proposed change in the contribution. This review has not resolved its effective legal status. Obtain current confirmation of the applicable rate and commencement date before using a combined rate in an investment model.
Discuss the Cyprus workstream
Contact SuperBluOrange with the intended betting products, entity, funding arrangements and existing platform. The proposal should distinguish licensing assistance from the sportsbook implementation and identify any local professional or third-party dependency.
