Is cider yeast reusable in the same way as beer yeast is?

And by "in the same way" I'm referring to the way where you collect the slurry in a jar and put it in the fridge

Not sure.

But I know you can't sell it once it has been used in a cider; otherwise you get done for in-cider trading.

If you don't get an answer here, Ruddy, it could be an experiment for you to try. Perhaps just with a couple of litres of juice to start off with.

I have reused cider yeast once, I did two batches, one right after the other, same ABV, no hops just straight MJ cider and dextrose, no issues...anecdotal. first batch was a pear cider the second batch was elderflower and lime, I took out about 2/3 to 1/2 of the yeast cake, saved the rest in 2 750ml bottles and cleaned the fermenter and then tossed in the ingredients and yeast slurry.

But I only did it because I read this thread and felt that it would be alright...anecdotal.

Yep. Used a safcider 3 or 4 times when the misses was into hard cider. Works the same as any normal yeast.

It can be reused BUT you'll need some extra nutrients in subsequent uses. 

Boiled,  clean yeast slurry from a beer is excellent for this , 1/4 of a cup is plenty .

Since your yeast isn't quite as vital as it was and cider isn't a forgiving environment I'd suggest that you increase your pitch rate to avoid off flavours.
