Greece strengthens measures to protect young people from the risks of online betting

In Greece, authorities have begun discussing new measures to protect young people from the growing risks associated with online betting.

A national advisory body, the Hellenic National Bioethics and Technoethics Commission, has called for swift and coordinated action from various government agencies to reduce the negative impact of online gambling on young people.

Proposed actions

• Tougher rules on gambling advertising and marketing
• Stricter verification of users' identity to confirm age
• Restrictions on payment methods to prevent minors from accessing betting platforms

These measures aim to reduce the availability of online gambling to minors and reduce potential harm.
