Gambling Gaming Market

Gambling activities conducted within the Greek territory are classified into two main categories, based on the distribution network or channel:

B. games conducted online (remote gambling), which operate
under a free competition framework.

Website Legality Check

Find out whether a website is listed in the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) register of unlicensed providers (Blacklist).

Register of unlicensed providers (BlackList)

The Blacklist includes the domain names and/or websites through which unlicensed services are provided, as well as, where available, the legal entities and/or their legal representatives, administrators, partners, shareholders, and/or members of the board of directors.

Entities listed on the Blacklist are not eligible to be licensed or to participate in any way in a licensed gambling service provider in Greece.

Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gaming is a fundamental principle for the lawful and socially responsible conduct of gambling activities. Its objective is to prevent and mitigate the negative consequences that may arise from excessive or uninformed participation, such as addiction, financial burden, and social or psychological effects. Through a comprehensive framework of rules, protection mechanisms, and awareness actions, a safe and reliable gaming environment is ensured, in which participation remains controlled, responsible, and purely recreational, with particular attention given to the protection of minors and vulnerable groups.
