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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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%.
- 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.
