Betting markets open for the 2026 parliamentary elections in Cyprus
Betting companies in Cyprus have released odds for the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for May 24, 2026. While DISY and AKEL currently lead the polls as favorites, new political groups such as Phidias Panayiotou's Amesi Dimokratia, Odysseas Michaelides' Alma, and Volt are also gaining attention. Candidates are set to submit their nominations tomorrow as the country enters the final countdown to election day. The National Betting Authority has officially regulated this activity, stipulating that betting services for the 2026 elections must conclude no later than May 16, 2026, at 23:59. The regulatory body stated that this deadline is intended to prevent the potential influence or manipulation of the electorate. Supervised operators have received formal approval to offer these services provided they adhere to specific terms and conditions. The public is encouraged to use self-exclusion tools and set financial or time limits while betting. Complaints regarding the process can be directed to the National Betting Authority via their official email address.
