Total gross gaming revenue rose 6% compared to the year before. Online gambling made up 38.8% of that total, supported by 24 licensed operators.
Public revenue from gambling, which includes taxes, fees, and licence charges, reached €1.17 billion. That is an 11.2% increase from 2024.
The Commission also reported supervisory income of €23 million. This money came entirely from statutory sources tied to the industry.
EEEP said it strengthened regulatory and technical oversight throughout the year. This was aimed at keeping closer watch on licensed operators.
Online Betting Drives Public Revenue
Online operators were the biggest source of public gambling revenue in 2025. They brought in €736.94 million, equal to 63.1% of all receipts.
Fixed-odds betting, covering both real and virtual events, made up 40.3% of online gross gaming revenue. Live casino, poker, and slots filled the rest, at 59.7%.
OPAP was the second largest contributor to public revenue. The company added €326.66 million, or 27.95% of the total.
OPAP reported record gross gaming revenue for its financial year ending December 2025. Its iGaming business grew 16.9%, helped by its ongoing integration with Allwyn.
Casinos added €61.76 million to public revenue, a 5.28% share. Greek State Lotteries contributed €42.60 million, or 3.65%. Overall, remote gambling made up 38.79% of total gross gaming revenue for the year.
Land-Based Gambling Still Leads Overall Market
Greece’s land-based gambling sector generated €1.88 billion in 2025. Number games led this segment by a wide margin.
KINO alone brought in €711.3 million, making up 37.8% of land-based gross gaming revenue. Sports betting followed with €414.2 million, or 22% of the total.
Horse racing stayed the smallest contributor. It produced just €6.4 million, or 0.3% of land-based revenue.
Video Lottery Terminals brought in €365.9 million, equal to 19.5% of land-based receipts. Casinos added €268.6 million, or 14.3%, while state lotteries generated €114.6 million, or 6.1%.
EEEP stepped up enforcement against illegal gambling during the year. Six rounds of blacklist updates pushed the number of blocked domains from 9,590 in 2024 to 12,642 by the end of 2025.
The regulator also received 586 whistleblower reports. Officials estimate illegal gambling cost the state around €400 million in lost revenue last year.
To address this, EEEP launched the first phase of a central player registry. Seven licence holders connected to the system in 2025, allowing player identification across multiple platforms.
The Commission processed 57 indefinite self-exclusion requests during the year. Data showed 84% of applicants were male, and 63% were aged 35 or younger.
