The development and sustainability of the games market and its sub-sectors are, among other things, at the core of the Commission's remit
Gaming Control Supervision (EEEP).
In particular, with regard to the land-based gambling network, based on the data available to us, sustainability risks are identified in the near future regarding: competition with online games and the deterioration of their position due to the side effects of the pandemic.
The aim of EEEP is to contribute to the improvement and modernization of terrestrial games, so as to highlight their comparative advantages. For this purpose, it explores a series of ideas and proposals, in order to propose specific actions. In this context, it has commissioned a study in principle on the possibilities of extracting additional income from the land-based gambling network, from the growing tourist traffic of the country. The spatial study focuses on the periphery and not on the large urban centers.
It is obvious that the data of this research and any proposals of the EEEP that will arise, will be put to public consultation with all interested parties.
We point out that these actions will in no way affect rights granted to terrestrial network companies through licenses and concession contracts, as defined by law. On the contrary, it is to find mutually beneficial solutions that will shape and ensure the long-term viability of the sector, for the benefit of the public interest, the companies that operate and the Greek society
