The Greek Gaming Commission (EEEP) is undergoing organisational transformation
It is shifting from an operations-based structure to a project-driven model to increase flexibility and responsiveness in a fast-changing environment

The Greek Gaming Commission (EEEP) is entering a phase of organisational transformation, investing in modern project management practices to accelerate implementation and improve resource use.

The Commission notes that the shift from an operations-based model to one focused on project delivery is not simply an organisational adjustment but a deliberate strategic decision.

Rapid technological change and pandemic-driven shifts have increased the need for more flexible organisational structures, as traditional hierarchies struggle to keep pace with fast-moving environments. In response, the EEEP is required to develop new digital infrastructure, redesign processes and adjust its operating model to respond quickly to market developments.

The Commission adds that the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, with effective time and resource allocation, is essential. Active leadership involvement is also seen as critical to the success of the new model, with senior leaders expected to redefine priorities, allocate resources and monitor performance.

The Greek market is also entering a period of regulatory change. In February, a bill was proposed to strengthen enforcement against illegal gambling, while the National Bioethics and Technoethics Committee has called for measures to address rising teenage exposure to gambling.

The EEEP has also notified local gambling operators by letter about the upcoming EU anti-money laundering framework. At the same time, the government will raise taxes on online casino winnings from 1 July 2026.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has also defended plans to ban children under 15 from accessing social media, with gaming and online gambling expected to face similar age-based restrictions.

Good to know

According to data from the EEEP, player complaints to the regulator in the gambling sector increased by 20% in 2025, reaching a total of 1,104 cases
