Sportingbet, which generates 15% of its NGR from Greece, last month declared its intention to apply for a license in the territory.
“We understand that that the government has approved a switch to GPT. This move as has also occurred in Spain following similar discussions, albeit that the 30% rate that has been suggested in Greece is higher than other jurisdictions,” a spokesperson for industry lobby group the Remote Gambling Association said.
“We will continue our lobbying efforts to bring this more into line with other countries that have licensed remote gambling,” the spokesperson added.
