Hellenic Gaming Commission Partners with Mindway AI to Launch Gamalyze on Official Website

The Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) proudly announces its latest partnership with Mindway AI, a leader in solutions for responsible gambling based on neuroscience, advanced AI and expert analysis. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in the Greek gaming sector with the integration of Gamalyze, an award-winning, gamified reinvention of the self-test, now available on the HGC’s official website.
Gamalyze is designed to enhance player protection by offering insights into individuals’ gambling behaviour.

Leveraging insights from neuroimaging, Gamalyze evaluates each player’s decisions during gameplay, providing a comprehensive report that highlights their strategic approach and sensitivity to rewards and losses. This innovative platform not only offers personalised feedback but also delivers tailored advice, empowering players to better understand and manage their gambling behaviours.
The launch of Gamalyze on the HGC website represents a pivotal moment not only for Greece but also for the global gaming industry. As one of the first collaborations between an international gambling regulator and a world-class AI technology provider, this partnership sets a new benchmark for regulatory practices and player protection measures.
The President of the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC), Dimitrios Ntzanatos, stated: “The HGC leverages technology to enhance player protection. The integration of Gamalyze into the Commission’s website marks a significant step towards a safer and more sustainable gaming environment.”
Mindway AI’s CEO, Rasmus Kjaergaard, also expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “Working with the Hellenic Gaming Commission exemplifies the impact of international cooperation in elevating standards across the gaming industry. We are excited to see Gamalyze empowering players in Greece and enhancing the HGC’s efforts in promoting responsible gambling.”
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, the HGC and Mindway AI remain at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that player protection remains a top priority. Gamalyze is now accessible through the Hellenic Gaming Commission’s website, offering a new era of transparency and responsibility in the Greek market and beyond.

Swintt’s certified games ready to enter the Greek market

In-demand software provider adds a 12th regulated market to its operations as full portfolio of games receives approval to launch from Hellenic Gaming Commission
Having vowed to enter three new markets over the course of 2025, hotshot software provider Swintt has already gone some way to delivering on this promise with the announcement that its games are now certified for release in Greece.
With the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) giving the studio the greenlight to provide Swintt titles to licensed platforms in the country, Greece becomes the 12th regulated market in which Swintt is approved to operate.
Following hot on the heels of similar approvals in the UK and Ontario last year, acquiring game certification for the Greek market will enable the provider to connect with even more players and operators across Europe and is merely the beginning of Swintt’s plans this year.
The team at Swintt also has its eyes on the Italian and Swiss markets, further expanding its outreach and demonstrating the studio’s commitment to ensuring that its content reaches a broad cross-section of customers in numerous global regulated markets.
Now that it has secured certification for Greece, Swintt will prepare its catalogue of games to ensure that they’re primed and ready for release in the country – and the provider is already working hard behind the scenes to identify potential partnership deals that will bring its line-up to market.
Building on this momentum, the Elysium Studios driven by Swintt catalogue of games is expected to be a hit in the Greek market, thanks to its cutting-edge graphics and innovative features with a focus on delivering immersive experiences that cater to their player preferences
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “At Swintt, we’ve always been clear about our ambitions to expand, but it’s important for us to do that in a strategic way and only target regulated markets that make commercial sense to us – and Greece definitely fits this bill.
“As the 12th regulated market where our games are certified for launch, we’re very happy to have been granted approval by the HGC and are already hard at work trying to find suitable partners to host our titles in the country. I’m very excited about the possibilities the Greek market will hold for Swintt and am already looking forward to getting our portfolio out to a wide new audience.”
