The Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP) has reported that Greece's regulated gaming sector achieved gross gaming revenues (GGR) of €3.07 billion in the past year, marking a 6.7% increase from 2022. While land-based gambling still dominates, making up 61.2% of the total GGR, the online segment has grown significantly, with a revenue increase of 11.8%. Currently, online gaming constitutes 38.8% of the overall market in Greece.
This thriving sector has also made a substantial contribution to public finances, generating €1.17 billion in tax revenues for the government, over 63% of which came from licensed online gaming operators.
Looking ahead, the EEEP has outlined its strategic goals from 2026 to 2030, focusing on responsible gambling practices, market surveillance, anti-money laundering measures, digital transformation, and innovation. A key component of this strategy will involve the integration of artificial intelligence and regulatory technology solutions to enhance compliance oversight.
Additionally, the agency is addressing the challenge of illegal gambling, affecting an estimated 10.6% of Greece's population. As part of its future initiatives, EEEP plans to introduce updated self-exclusion protocols and develop a regulatory framework tailored for B2B suppliers and live casino studios.
