Greece regulates online gambling under Law 4002/2011 through the Hellenic Gaming Commission. Operators need separate Type 1 and Type 2 licences for online betting and other online games of chance. The market rules and headline count of 18 online licence holders were reviewed on 22 August 2026; the seven positive Atlas domain matches remain tied to the HGC directory evidence checked on 28 July, while BetShop is supported separately by the revocation decision.
