ADDICTION
One of the most serious problems that can cause uncontrollable and uncontrollable gambling is addiction. The problem of addiction affects not only the people who play but extends to their families, to the well-known but also to the wider community. Some of the consequences of this situation may include feelings of guilt, depression, over-indebtedness, ending up with poverty, separation, attempted suicide, and, in extreme cases, involvement in crime.

COMPUTER FILTERING SYSTEMS
Online gambling in Greece is banned for eons under 21 years. Gaming companies must have many ways to control to ensure that no one under 21 has access to the online game. In an effort to prevent access to minors, we recommend that you install and use filter programs on every child-enabled device that can be used by minors. This will allow you to control and block the content by entering a password that prevents access to prohibited sites and makes them inaccessible to minors.
Infobeto.com suggests you for a filtering program:
