Greek government set to reform Greek gaming laws
The Greek government has introduced a draft bill for the regulation of the gaming market in Greece and intends to deposit it in the Greek parliament this fall.
By reforming and liberalizing the gaming market, the government hopes to put in place appropriate mechanisms in order to monitor and control the market.
Existing legislation prohibits the operation of gambling in Greece, except for OPAP’s operations and premises (OPAP S.A. is Europe’s biggest traded gambling company) and casinos. The European Court of Justice has imposed Greece with a fine of EUROS 32 000 per day for keeping its gambling market closed.
The draft gaming bill creates an appropriate legal framework in order to control the gambling market and protect consumers, minors and other vulnerable members of society. It creates an independent watchdog which will oversee the gaming market.
