iGaming payments inGreece

HGC-licensed under the 2020 framework, with .gr operations, seven-year licences and 35% of GGR in tax, charged after 20% corporate tax has already been applied. The market is mature and the deposit mix has moved decisively onto domestic instant payments. IRIS, the account-to-account rail DIAS operates across Alpha, National Bank, Eurobank and Piraeus, is the hero method, and reaching it means a local DIAS connection rather than a card integration. Enforcement runs on both layers: the HGC has blacklisted around 11,000 unlicensed sites for ISPs to block, and payment institutions are barred from processing transactions to or from accounts tied to those operators.
