Greece launches anonymous tip site for reporting illegal gambling activity

The Hellenic Gaming Commission in Greece has launched a new digital portal that allows people to anonymously report illegal gambling in the country.

The site, called Whisper, offers options to report illegal betting websites, unlicensed affiliates, illegal revenue or revenue that the individual suspects may derive from illegal gambling operations. Users can also upload documents as evidence to support complaints.legal gambling organizations or games on offer in Greece.

In 2019, Greece broke away from a state-run monopoly and began allowing private iGaming and online sports betting operators operators to enter the market.

The Hellenic Gaming Commission called on the the public to use the site in order to safeguard the recently regulated online gaming market. Several suppliers have gained licences from the regulator after it opened the application process for online betting and online gaming licences in October 2020.

Companies to have obtained licences include SOFTSWISS, ESA Gaming, BGaming and Play’n GO.

The Greek online gambling market has tight restrictions, limiting random number generator (RNG) games to maximum stakes of €2, maximum prizes of €5,000 and a minimum three-second spin limit. Slots may not be advertised anywhere outside of an operator’s own website.

Can't stand those things. And seems more and more countries go in that direction on different matters.
Then you have millions of "policeman" snitching on each other.

And every single time someone loses a bet, they will report the site.

That's interesting.
Here in Japan, many players are playing on illegal casinos.

Most of those casinos disappear from Japan market all of sudden without returning money to players.
