The gambling industry in Greece provides stable fiscal revenues through the gross gaming income tax (GGR), license fees and dividends/payments from the lottery betting circuit (OPAP plays a key role).
The revenue structure consists of lotteries and retail bets, land casinos (Athens, Thessaloniki, resorts) and rapidly growing online: mobile-live, slots and live-tables.
Cash flow is pronounced seasonal: summer months and peak tourist periods in the Aegean and Ionian Islands support offline income, while online smooths out off-season failures.
KYC/AML, age-gate 21 +, responsible play tools and payment anti-fraud are growing in costs; at the same time, the transition to cashless and instant EUR transfers speeds up turnover and payments.
Key operator KPIs - GGR/NGR, ARPU, mobile traffic share, output rate, hold; for the state - predictability of fees, reduction of the "gray" segment and risk control.
Trend until 2030: "online-first" while maintaining offline tourist support.
