Greece regulates online betting and casino games through the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC/EEEP). Legal sites require a Greek Type 1 betting licence, Type 2 other-online-games licence, or both, and the Commission offers an official URL checker plus a blacklist. This guide explains how to verify a domain, protect payments, complain and use safer-play tools.

Online gambling in Greece

Greek law permits licensed internet gambling under HGC supervision. Type 1 covers online betting and Type 2 covers other online games such as casino and poker. Licences are operator- and product-specific, and approved sites use domains recorded by the authority. A foreign licence alone does not authorise Greek targeting.

Verify the exact site

  • Use the HGC website-legality checker and licensed-provider records.
  • Check the blacklist for unauthorised domains and mirrors.
  • Match the legal company and payment beneficiary.
  • Read identity, bonus and withdrawal conditions before depositing.

Protection and complaints

Licensed providers must apply player-protection and exclusion controls. Keep statements, bet IDs and correspondence. Complain to the operator in writing, then use the HGC complaint channel for a licensed provider or report illegal betting through the authority’s dedicated route. Notify the bank immediately if fraud is suspected.

Responsible gambling

Set a fixed budget and time limit before play, never borrow and do not chase losses. Use account limits, exclusion and professional support when control weakens.
