Hellenic Gaming Commission
17 Acharnon Street & Mavrokordatou Square, GR 104 38, Athens, Greece
The Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) is the independent administrative authority responsible for regulating, supervising, and auditing all gambling activities within the Hellenic Territory. Originally established in 2004 as the Hellenic Gambling Commission, the body was renamed and granted full independence with its own legal personality in February 2012. The HGC oversees both land‑based and online gambling, including games of chance, sports betting, and remote gaming services. It is composed of nine members appointed by the Minister of Finance, drawn from individuals with recognised scientific and professional expertise. The Commission’s core functions include issuing and revoking operating licences, maintaining a publicly accessible “White List” of authorised operators and a “Black List” of unlicensed online gambling providers, certifying gaming machines and software, and enforcing compliance with Greek gambling legislation. In recent years, the HGC has intensified its enforcement capabilities, blocking approximately 11,000 unlicensed gambling domains as of December 2025. It also works to combat problem gambling through partnerships with health authorities. The Commission’s headquarters are in Athens, and it operates under the legal framework defined by Law 4002/2011 and subsequent amendments. As a regulator, the HGC does not offer commercial products but manages a comprehensive licensing and compliance regime that shapes Greece’s gambling market.
