The Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP), the main regulatory body in Greece, has launched a series of consultations seeking feedback on potential gaming reforms outlined in a recent “draft regulation,” SBC News reported August 9.
Operators, bookmakers and other interested parties have been asked to submit feedback no later than September 15.
The draft looks to bring the country’s gaming market in line with most other European and North American countries, including new regulations relating to responsible gaming, auditing and more.
One of the central recommendations in the draft is the adoption of “Individual Player Cards” for all Greek casinos, in order to better monitor play and customer spend.
Additionally, a new redeveloped self-exclusion program, which have become increasingly popular around the world, has also been proposed. New, standardized training procedures for casino staff have also been suggested.
Provisions regarding live-dealer online games, another rapidly growing sector, were included as well. Finally, overhauls to operational procedures such as cash management and operating hours were included as well.
In order to become law, the proposed changes would have to be accepted by the country’s Ministry of National Economy and Finance.
