Targeted online actions are being implemented by the Greek Police's Electronic Crime Prosecutor's Office to identify unlicensed gambling providers and combat illegal gambling via the Internet.
Regular proceedings have been developed in this context, which concerned three online gambling sites without a legal license.
More specifically, these sites provided gambling services via the Internet without a legal license, while the licensing countries of the companies operating the websites were identified abroad.
In addition, in one case it emerged that the website provided the possibility of illegal betting in a covert manner, to a closed clientele, which had data login (username (username) and password (password)), without providing the possibility of registration, in order to avoid their discovery in the control of the prosecuting Authorities.
For a thorough and comprehensive investigation of the case, correspondence was made with the relevant Internet service providers and the Gaming Supervision and Control Committee (GPEE) was informed in order to proceed the actions envisaged.
The Commission has included (3) websites in the list of non-licensed gambling providers via the Black List.
According to the Commission:
“Three (3) additional sites, www.yezgaming.gr, livebet4u.com and www.directslot.com, were included in the 15th edition of the Blacklist of the Game Supervisory and Control Committee, of the Commission's decision, and the total number of blacklisted sites now stands at 927. "
The regular proceedings filed were submitted to the Prosecutor's Office of Athens.
