The draft omnibus bill is reported to raise EEEP licensing fees, though the exact fee schedule has not been confirmed via a Tier-1 source this cycle and is carried at Uncertain confidence. Separately, and with firmer Probable confidence, the bill proposes a new tiered per-session tax on online casino and poker winnings: 0% up to EUR100, 20% between EUR100 and EUR500, and 30% above EUR500, with a proposed effective date of 1 July 2026. Together these proposals signal a rising cost-to-operate trajectory for licensed operators, though the fee component in particular should be treated as unconfirmed pending Tier-1 sourcing.
No confirmed change to Greece's headline or effective tax rate, deduction structure, or AML/CFT and responsible-gambling compliance-lift figures was identified this cycle. A single T4 source reports that online casino winnings over EUR 500 are taxed at 30 percent from 1 July 2026, which would represent a material new cost input if confirmed, but this claim is rated Uncertain and carries mixed durability pending corroboration by a Ministry of Finance or Government Gazette publication. The interpreter's gaps register records this explicitly as an unresolved sourcing gap. Operators should treat the reported winnings-tax figure as a signal to monitor rather than an operative cost assumption until a Tier-1 or Tier-2 source confirms it.
