Greece had sought to keep its monopoly on gambling, but the European commission had decided to intervene in it and had forced the country to open its market. But Greece had decided not to respond to the order and had been fined 3,000 Euros a day for non-observance of the fundamental laws of the European Union. But Greece can’t afford for this luxury and therefore, the country decided, a few day ago, to practise the same rules as France about poker online and gambling: tax online gambling such as poker and online bet. The country will provide licenses for 5 years and companies will need to renew every 5 years. When you renew, it means more money for the government. So yes the Greeks can now play poker online but as the French Greek are not allowed to play outside the borders, for sure, as on the net.
