Betsson has been granted licenses for online gaming and betting in Greece by the Hellenic Gaming Commission, and will be launching its flagship brand of the same name in the next coming weeks.

Betsson.gr will offer sports betting, casino, live casino, and virtual sports, after the group received two of the new HGC licenses to operate in Greece; one for games of chance (casino, slots, poker) and another one for betting (sportsbook), both of which are valid for an initial period of seven years.

Betsson Greece will be launched with a product offering specifically developed with the Greek players in mind, such as the Betsson 500k where players have to pick the correct outcome on twenty different events with the chance of winning big; and Betsson+ that enables players to create their own bet on the football player they choose in all big events this summer. Furthermore, the company will also offer a Greek language dedicated customer support service.

“We are really pleased to receive these licenses and to welcome Greece as Betsson’s 18th locally regulated market,” stated Pontus Lindwall, president and CEO for Betsson.

“As in other markets, our vision for Greece is to offer the best customer experience possible and we have partnered with some great gaming suppliers and payment providers to augment our offering. The Greek gaming market has experienced significant growth over the past years, and we see a lot of potential”.
