Regulated market: licences are issued by Hellenic Gaming Commission. Operators holding one work legally; the rest accept players from abroad.
Regulation
Greece reformed its market and since 2020 has issued national licences for online casinos and betting through the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC/EEEP). Legal operators run on .gr domains and must follow responsible-gambling rules, including a national self-exclusion register. For a long time the semi-state operator OPAP played a major role and still holds a strong position in lotteries and betting. Land-based casinos are located in Athens (Parnitha, Loutraki), Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Corfu and other resorts. The currency is the euro; bank cards, transfers and e-wallets are common. Players' winnings may be taxed on a progressive scale depending on the amount. Players should choose operators holding an HGC licence.
