Paysafecard in Greek Casinos
On this page
This page is for players in Greece who want to deposit at online casinos with Paysafecard, a prepaid voucher from Paysafe. It explains how Greek online gambling is regulated, how the voucher and the Paysafecard account work, and how to deposit and cash out in euros. Whichever casino you choose, check that it is licensed by the Hellenic Gaming Commission and accepts Paysafecard before you buy a voucher.
Online Gambling Regulation in Greece
As a member country of the European Union, Greece has had quite a fight with the Union over gambling regulations. Namely, when the country passed a law in 2002 making all electronic gaming illegal, the law was vague and broad, as it made gaming consoles like Nintendo and PlayStation illegal, not to mention gambling verticals. Almost a decade later, the government wanted to introduce legislation that would clarify this law and regulate online gambling with proper licenses. Its troubles with the Union started when Greece announced that it would put one state-controlled operator, OPAP, in charge of the industry.
The government explained to the EU that it found all forms of gambling highly addictive and that’s why it decided to offer a state-run monopoly instead. The EU did not like this and eventually proceeded by pressuring Greece to liberalize the market. Law 4002/2011 opened the way to licensing, and Law 4635/2019 introduced the current regime, under which the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) issues seven-year licences for online betting and for other online games of chance, including casino games.
OPAP, however, stayed in charge of the national lottery, horse racing betting, VLTs, and sports betting. When the country announced new legislation by the second half of 2017, OPAP praised the government for its plans to better regulate online gambling. Since hundreds of websites were already catering to Greek players without a license, despite the blacklists and the EEEP (Hellenic Gaming Commission)’s efforts to stop illegal gambling, the country was in a great need to stabilize the market and improve it.
Even with a licensed market in place, unlicensed sites still exist. The HGC keeps a blacklist of unlicensed operators and works with internet service providers to block them, but hundreds of unlicensed sites can still be reached from Greece, and they offer none of the protections of a licensed casino. That is why it pays to check a casino's licence before you deposit.
Where does this leave you as a Greek player? Choose a casino that holds an HGC licence. You can find the licensed operators on the HGC website. Unlicensed international online casinos may carry a bigger game range from more software developers, but they have no Greek licence, no Greek player protection and may be blocked. The HGC also warns that dealing with unlicensed operators carries legal risk.
When you have found a licensed site, check its payment methods list. If the casino has no local option, a prepaid voucher such as Paysafecard lets you pay in your own currency, the euro, without typing in your bank details.
The voucher is issued by Paysafe Prepaid Services Limited, an Irish company supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland, and is part of Paysafe Group. Paysafe has worked with gaming technology providers. Being a regulated payment company does not make a casino safe, so the casino's own licence still matters.

Using Paysafecard Across Greek Online Casinos
Paysafe, the company behind Paysafecard, has a long history in online payments, and Paysafecard was its first product. It was designed for online shoppers and is now also used for online casino deposits where a casino accepts it.
Besides the standard voucher, paysafecard has offered the online-only my paysafecard account, and in some countries a card with MasterCard. Check the Greek paysafecard site for what is available to you. To find a shop, use the store finder on the official site: enter your address and it lists nearby sales outlets.
You can buy vouchers in shops and online. In a shop you can pay with cash, with a credit/debit card or by bank transfer, depending on the outlet; online you choose the amount and pay by card. We could not confirm the voucher values on sale in Greece, so check them on the official site. You can also open a my paysafecard account, which is needed for higher limits and to receive casino payouts.
Once you complete the purchase, no matter if you went with the offline or online option, you will geta 16-digit code on your receipt. This code will be the thing you’d need to share with your online casino upon deposits, so make sure you keep it safe. But, continue reading to discover the exact steps that you'll need to take to successfully use your voucher for your deposits, and then we'll go over the withdrawal procedure.
Deposits and Withdrawals with Paysafecard
Paysafecard is accepted at a number of online casinos, but not all, so look for it in the cashier of an HGC-licensed site. Pick a licensed site with the games you want and register an account.
To fund your player account with Paysafecard, just make sure you follow these easy steps:
A voucher PIN cannot receive money. Casino payouts go to a registered my paysafecard account, through a service called Payout for Paysafecard Account Customers, and only if the casino supports it. We could not confirm from paysafecard's Greek pages that this service covers Greece, so ask the casino before you rely on it.
If the casino offers it, you choose Paysafecard in the Withdrawals section, enter the amount and the email address of your my paysafecard account. The casino reviews and approves the request first; the time this takes differs by casino, so check its terms.
How to Check That a Casino Is Licensed in Greece
Many searches in Greek ask which casinos accept Paysafecard. The more important question is whether the casino is allowed to serve you. Before you buy a voucher:
- Look for the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) licence number in the casino footer and match it against the licensed operators listed on the HGC website.
- Check that the site is not on the HGC blacklist of unlicensed operators.
- Confirm that Paysafecard appears in the casino's cashier. A voucher you cannot use is an unused voucher, and unused vouchers can attract monthly fees in some countries.
Reports in 2025 said around 11,000 illegal gambling domains had been blocked in Greece, and the HGC keeps adding to the list. Blocking does not cover every site, so an accessible site is not proof of a licence.

Conclusion
Paysafecard lets you deposit in euros at casinos that accept it without entering bank details. Check that the casino holds an HGC licence, confirm that Paysafecard is in its cashier, and do not assume you can withdraw to it. Registering a my paysafecard account is the route to payouts and higher limits.
