CYPRUS -- A bill to outlaw online gambling in Cyprus hinges on a nod from the European Commission, according to The Cyprus Mail.

The bill will also establish a gaming board which will regulate gambling in Cyprus, The Cyprus Mail reported.

It is believed that 600 online casinos may be operating in Cyprus because of a lack of legislation, the report noted.
