The Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP) has opened 40 positions in its Gaming Controllers’ Corps, seeking to strengthen its supervisory workforce through secondments from across Greece’s public sector.
Applications close on 6 November 2026. The invitation is aimed at public-sector employees who wish to apply their existing knowledge and experience to gambling supervision.
The commission said the initiative forms part of efforts to reinforce its oversight capacity as the gambling market evolves, bringing additional demands around player protection, illegal gambling and transparency.
Artificial intelligence, emerging digital markets and changing risks were identified as factors contributing to a more complex supervisory environment. According to EEEP, effective oversight requires trained personnel alongside regulatory frameworks and technological tools.
The additional staff are intended to strengthen teams supporting the commission’s supervisory responsibilities. These include protecting players, tackling unlicensed gambling and supporting the orderly functioning of the regulated market.
The announcement seeks employees with relevant knowledge, experience and a willingness to take initiative. It also emphasises integrity and responsibility in implementing gambling rules.
The process is structured around the secondment of existing public-sector employees, rather than recruitment through a competition open to the general public.
Interested applicants are directed to the commission’s official website for participation requirements, the invitation and the allocation of positions.
EEEP presented the roles as an opportunity to develop specialist expertise in work combining technology, economics and regulatory oversight. It also highlighted opportunities for learning and collaboration within the organisation.
The staffing initiative comes as Greece’s gambling market expands, with H1 2026 GGR rising 8% to €1.56bn ($1.76bn) and online gambling accounting for most of the increase.
Other recent developments include higher taxes on online casino winnings and proposals for unified player verification, which have encountered legal obstacles.
The positions are available through secondments of existing public-sector employees rather than an open recruitment competition for the general public
