Hellenic Gaming Commission opens cases against 18 influencers over illegal betting
Greece’s Hellenic Gaming Commission said criminal cases had been opened against 18 influencers and streamers over alleged promotion of unlicensed betting platforms. The first group includes five people with more than three million followers combined, while figures presented at an industry conference put illegal gambling participation at about 900,000 people in 2025 and annual black-market revenue at roughly €2bn.
The cases extend enforcement attention to marketing channels that may direct users to unlicensed betting platforms.
