Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC, Greece)
Greece’s HGC licenses operators under the reformed framework with a public list of authorised sites.
Why this is a Tier 2 — Established licence
Greece reformed its market under the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC), which licenses operators and publishes a list of authorised sites. It is a properly regulated EU market; we place it in tier 2 as the current framework is relatively young compared with the longest-established regulators.
How it operates
The HGC issues licences, supervises operators and publishes authorised sites; operators serve Greek players under Greek licences, and the Commission blocks unlicensed sites.
What protection does this licence give players?
Authorised-operator list
The HGC publishes licensed operators for verification.
Self-exclusion & RG tools
Licensees must provide responsible-gambling measures, including self-exclusion.
AML & identity checks
Operators verify players and apply anti-money-laundering controls.
If something goes wrong
Complain to the operator first; the HGC supervises licensees and can be contacted about regulatory matters. Confirm the operator is on the HGC authorised list before playing.
