Relax Gaming furthers European expansion with Greek market entry
Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is set to further extend its European footprint upon signalling its intent to enter the Greek market.
This move marks another key milestone for Relax, who have been closely monitoring the country’s growing iGaming presence following the Hellenic Gaming Commission’s move to a new online gambling licencing system in 2021.
Players at a host of licensed operators within Greece will be able to enjoy Relax Gaming’s top-performing proprietary content from Q1 onwards including Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop, Net Gains and the highly anticipated Money Train 3.
Alexia Smilovic Ronde, Chief Regulatory Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “We’re delighted that Relax Gaming has been issued an iGaming Supplier Licence by the Hellenic Gaming Commission.
“We’re pleased to continue our global scale expansion within a jurisdiction that has such a huge potential for growth in the online casino sphere. We’ll keep a close eye on regional regulatory developments to continue with its successful journey of expansion in newly regulated markets.”
Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers for 2022, Relax Gaming was recently named the Best Mobile Gaming Software Provider at the EGR B2B Awards, Casino / Slot Developer of the Year at the SBC Awards, and Best Game Provider at the AskGamblers Awards.
In total, Relax Gaming provides more than 4,000 online casino games, from its high-performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

DGOJ Begins Work to Create Central Data Registry
The Spanish gambling regulator DGOJ has initiated work on data administration policies and practices for the creation of a common centralised registry of gambling data. The registry would compile customer data from all Spanish-licensed gambling operators to provide a holistic view of activity.
DGOJ director general Mikel Arana has taken input from the Sectoral Commission, the General Assembly’s advisory body for policy and federal and directives. Initial discussions are focusing on improving data integration across public administrations and integrating the data into a comprehensive report on gaming activity.
Arana said: “The establishment of a centralised data registry will enhance the transparency and accountability of gambling operations in Spain. It will provide a robust framework for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the highest standards of responsible gaming.”
The General Assembly ordered the creation of a central registry over a year ago through the Decree on Responsible Gambling Environments. It will allow the DGOJ to monitor gambling licensees’ activities and customer engagement. Operators will have to establish risk profiles for customers aged under 25.
The next stage will involve consultations with stakeholders, including operators. The DGOJ aims to finalise an implementation plan by the end of the year. The registry would come into effect in early 2025. The remaining know-your-customer measures of the decree will be introduced in 2025.
