Betsson has received two of the new HGC licenses to operate in Greece; one license for games of chance (casino, slots, poker) and another one for betting (sportsbook), both of which are valid for an initial period of seven years.

“We are really pleased to receive these licenses and to welcome Greece as Betsson’s 18th locally regulated market. As in other markets, our vision for Greece is to offer the best customer experience possible and we have partnered with some great gaming suppliers and payment providers to augment our offering. The Greek gaming market has experienced significant growth over the past years, and we see a lot of potential”, comments Pontus Lindwall, President and CEO for Betsson AB.
