Is Online Casino Play Legal in Greece?

Greek online gambling is regulated by the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP). EEEP-licensed operators are subject to strict local rules including a €2 maximum slot bet. It is not illegal for a Greek resident to play on an internationally licensed site, though those operators fall outside EEEP oversight — the casinos listed below are licensed internationally, not by the EEEP, and players should weigh that difference before depositing.

EEEP vs. International Licensing

An EEEP license means direct Greek regulatory oversight, local-court recourse, and automatic tax withholding. An international license (commonly Curaçao) means no EEEP oversight and no local recourse in a dispute — you rely on the licensing body’s own complaint process instead. Neither is inherently unsafe, but they are not the same thing, and any site claiming both should be verified directly against the EEEP register.

Tax Compliance

On EEEP-licensed sites, tax is withheld automatically at source: 0% up to €100, 15% from €100.01 to €500, and 20% above €500 per session. On internationally licensed sites, no tax is withheld, and winnings must be self-declared as foreign gambling income on your E1 return.

Local Banking Support

Greek banks including Alpha Bank, Piraeus, Eurobank and NBG frequently block card payments to non-EEEP operators. IRIS and Viva Wallet are more reliable for depositing to internationally licensed sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an EEEP license mean?

It means the operator is directly regulated by the Hellenic Gaming Commission, with local-court recourse and mandatory €2 betting limits and automatic tax withholding.

Is it legal for a Greek resident to play on an internationally licensed casino?

Yes, it is not illegal for an individual to play on an internationally licensed site, though it falls outside EEEP oversight and local recourse.

How are taxes handled on legal, EEEP-licensed sites?

Tax is withheld automatically: tax-free up to €100, 15% between €100.01 and €500, and 20% above €500 per session, remitted directly to the AADE.

Can I use Greek bank accounts on internationally licensed sites?

Card payments are frequently blocked by Greek banks for non-EEEP operators. IRIS and Viva Wallet generally work more reliably.
