Hellenic Gaming Commission blocks more than 11,000 illegal betting sites
Greece’s Hellenic Gaming Commission has blocked more than 11,000 websites linked to illegal betting, according to the report. The unlicensed market is estimated to generate €1.6bn to €1.7bn a year, while as many as 10,000 new gambling-related sites are estimated to appear monthly. The commission is seeking closer cooperation with the telecommunications regulator to speed access to domain-registration data.
Licensed operators face an enforcement environment shaped by persistent illegal-site activity and planned regulatory changes.
