Greece Precrimbet Seminar Synthesis

The size of the illegal betting market in Greece seems to be difficult to assess. In Greece, a blacklist of illegal betting operators is published by the Hellenic Gaming Commission and is frequently updated. Today, many problems come from “Internet Cafés. Also, Bitcoins and the Darknet are two new threats which are being addressed by the Cyber Crime Unit of the Greek police.

According to participants, illegal betting issues still have to be improved both at national and international level. Several stakeholders advocate for a national strategy (especially since Greece has recently signed the Budapest Convention on cybercrime), including an advertising campaign to discourage punters to bet on illegal websites.
