Greece targets VIP gamblers in push for unified player verification
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
Greece's gaming regulator, the EEEP, is working to tighten how online players are identified, aiming to stop people registering several times under different names across platforms. It has asked all 18 licensed operators how they sign up, keep and reward high-value customers, including through bonuses and hospitality. Officials are also weighing a single certification gateway, possibly through the state e-Gov platform, after a plan to use banks was dropped for lack of legal authority.
Why it matters
Operators among Greece's 18 licensees may face disclosure on VIP programmes and a centralised verification gateway replacing their own player identification.
