The Greek parliament passed legislation that would allow EU-licensed operators entering the licensing process in Greece to pay 30% GPT and players a 10% tax on winnings during a six-month transitional period.
Betfair, which in June lodged a complaint with the EC regarding the exclusion of betting exchanges from the Greek law, is lobbying along with other operators to bring the Greek legislation more in line with established European legislation to make it less onerous on players and operators.
EU-based operators will be able to target Greek customers from servers based outside of Greece during the six-month transitional period, it remains unclear as to whether they will be required to locate servers within the territory once licences have been granted.
