Greek regulators have officially approved a new DNS-based monitoring framework to accelerate the blocking of unauthorized gambling platforms. The measure enters the national online betting market immediately to strengthen licensing compliance.
The updated mechanism relies on domain name system filtering to identify and restrict access to unlicensed operators. Authorities previously managed site restrictions through manual review cycles, which extended the timeframe for enforcement actions. The DNS approach enables automated detection, allowing regulators to apply blocks directly at the network routing level.
Regulatory Scope
Licensed platforms remain exempt from the new filtering protocol, as registered operators are maintained in a verified whitelist. The system specifically targets websites that lack a Greek gaming license or operate outside local taxation frameworks. Faster blocking procedures aim to align online gambling availability with national licensing standards.Details on the regulatory update were provided by yogonet.com. The Greek gaming authority has not released a full technical breakdown of the DNS infrastructure.
