Betting Company License Not Renewed Following Larnaca Shooting Incident

The National Betting Authority has decided not to renew the operating license of the betting company BookieCo, which is linked to the 47-year-old businessman recently arrested following a shooting incident in Larnaca. The company's license expired on February 9, 2026, and as a result, BookieCo is no longer authorized to provide betting services in Cyprus. The Authority has informed the public that the company should contact players directly to settle any outstanding matters. This decision follows the businessman's arrest and is likely connected to the investigation into the shooting incident.
