The suggested new measures will be implemented if they are accepted by Greece&rsquo;s Ministry of National Economy and Finance. In a release on its website, EEEP said the draft legislation <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"><em>focuses &ldquo;on the regulation of matters of administrative control and operation of casino businesses&rdquo;,<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"> with the consultation put in place to &ldquo;formulate the views of each interested part&rdquo;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/greece-has-opened-a-consultation-on-how-casinos-are-operated-and-will-close-sept-152.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The regulator hailed the proposed changes as &ldquo;key innovations&rdquo;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"><strong>Improved player protection<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">One new proposal is the overhaul of Greece&rsquo;s existing player protection laws. This includes the creation of a self-exclusion register.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The register will be maintained by EEEP. The regulator must note certain information about the banned player, such as the duration of the ban and the licensee that received the ban request. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">If passed into law, the draft regulation would allow players to choose the duration of their self-exclusion period. This would range from one week to 10 months.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Self-exclusion can only be lifted if the time period has passed and the self-excluded player has submitted a request to lift the ban.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"><strong>Player cards and staff training<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The draft law also outlines the possibility of an individual player card. This would allow players to participate in games in casinos while being linked to their online account.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Licensees will also be obligated to train staff on the contents of Greece&rsquo;s gambling regulations. This will involve providing specialised education and training programmes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">A training manager must also be appointed, who must provide information about relevant education and training to EEEP upon request.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/greece-has-opened-a-consultation-on-how-casinos-are-operated-and-will-close-sept-153.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"><strong>Further proposals<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The draft law would also require a studio space to be located in every licensed casino.Live dealer games would be operated from this space. Casinos would also be required to install specialised equipment in this space. EEEP also outlined several optimisation proposals. This would see a financial security reserve made mandatory, along with more obvious notifications of opening hours.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The regulator hailed the proposed changes as \u201ckey innovations\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6620,"menu_order":334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3839,3840,3838],"class_list":["post-6619","europe","type-europe","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","tag-casino-regulation","tag-consult","tag-greece-eeep","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
