Gaming Law

Gaming technology in a
tightly regulated market.

Companies supplying gaming software, platforms, RNG (random number generator) systems, gaming management systems (GMS), live-dealer studio services or gaming equipment to operators lawfully active in Greece are subject to specific licensing and technical certification requirements, under the supervision of the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC). That regime is distinct from the operator's own licence to offer betting or other gaming. The gaming manufacturer licence covers the systems themselves, so technical certification runs in parallel with licensing.

We provide specialist legal services to gaming software developers, platform providers, RNG and GMS providers, live-dealer studios and equipment manufacturers on manufacturer/supplier licensing and continuing regulatory compliance in Greece. This is also a distinct subject from gaming affiliate licensing, which concerns marketing and referral businesses rather than technology suppliers — see our Affiliate Licensing page if that is your business model. Whether your systems are already live with a licensed operator in Greece, or you are considering whether you need a licence and certification before you get there, the starting point is the same: establishing whether your business model falls within the manufacturer/supplier licensing regime.

B2B agreements with licensed operators presuppose that the supplier's licence is already in place.

Our services cover the whole licensing process — from the initial assessment of your business and technology model and the identification of the requirements, through to technical certification, the preparation and filing of the application and the grant of the licence. We also provide ongoing legal support on compliance and on supply agreements as your activity develops.
