Greece’s gambling GGR reached €3.07 billion in 2025, with land-based still taking 61.2%, EEEP says

Greece closed 2025 with €3.07 billion in total gross gaming revenue (GGR), up 6.7% year on year, and the market still leaned heavily on land-based. For PSPs and operators, the useful detail is that remote gambling kept growing faster than the market overall, while the regulator also pushed ahead with tighter identity and self-exclusion infrastructure.

  1. According to the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP), land-based gambling generated €1.88 billion in 2025, equal to 61.2% of total GGR. Remote gambling accounted for the remaining 38.8% and grew 10.5% year on year, which is the part of the market that keeps moving faster than the headline number.
  2. The state’s take from gambling also rose. Public revenues from taxes, levies and licence fees reached €1.17 billion, up 11.2% from 2024, while supervisory income for the EEEP was €23 million and was funded entirely through statutory sources.
  3. Within land-based, number games such as KINO remained the biggest line item, producing €711.3 million, or 37.8% of land-based GGR. Land-based sports betting followed with €414.2 million, then Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) with €365.9 million, casinos with €268.6 million, state lotteries with €114.6 million and horse racing with €6.4 million.
  4. The online side was supported by 24 licensed operators, with several additional applicants still moving through the licensing process. Fixed-odds betting, including wagering on real and virtual events, generated 40.3% of online GGR, while live casino, poker and slots made up the remaining 59.7%.
  5. Online betting operators were the largest contributors to public gambling revenues in 2025, generating €736.94 million, or 63.1% of total public receipts from the sector. OPAP followed with €326.66 million, after reporting record GGR in its FY25 ending in December 2025 and a 16.9% rise in iGaming revenue as it continued integrating with Allwyn.

On the compliance side, the EEEP launched the first phase of a central player registry, which enables unique player identification across multiple licensed operators. Seven licence holders connected to the system in 2025, setting up the regulator’s unified self-exclusion framework. That matters for any PSP or operator touching Greece: the market is still split between a land-based core and a growing online segment, but the direction of travel is toward tighter player-level controls.
