Sportnco is delighted to announce that it has entered Greece’s regulated online betting and gaming market with the migration of NetBet.gr, the Greek-focused brand of the European iGaming operator NetBet.

Greece’s new regulations came into force in July and Sportnco entered the market following its filing for a B2B supplier licence from the Hellenic Gaming Commission.

NetBet and Sportnco, which have been working together since France regulated its iGaming market in 2010, collaborated on this Greek launch when NetBet decided to switch its betting solution to Sportnco earlier this year.

As a solutions provider focused on regulated markets, Sportnco is working towards additional agreements with potential partners to grow its volumes in this newly-regulated market and take advantage of its B2B supplier’s licence and knowledge of the local betting trends.

Greece’s new iGaming legislation came into force this Summer and allows licensed operators to offer online sports betting and gaming, including casino and poker; and suppliers such as Sportnco must have a B2B licence to work in the country.

Hervé Schlosser, CEO and founder of Sportnco, commented: “We are delighted to be expanding our relationship with NetBet, a long-lasting and trusted customer of Sportnco.
This newly-regulated market enables Sportnco to demonstrate its know-how for meeting complex IT and trading requirements and once again we are excited to be expanding our international footprint. We’re really looking forward to developing NetBet’s presence in
Greece.”

Keny Igbui, general manager of NetBet, added: “We are very happy to be working with Sportnco in Greece and look forward to developing this relationship thanks to focused service and customer management with our sportsbook provider. Greece is a great market for iGaming and we look forward to continuing our growth there with Sportnco.”

PAGCOR chief pushes for stricter regulation, not online gaming ban

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco on Monday, September 8, pushed for stricter regulations for online gaming instead of an outright ban, saying that prohibition would only encourage illegal operations and deprive the government of needed revenues.

Speaking before industry stakeholders at the Light & Wonder iGaming Symposium at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, Mr. Tengco said reforms implemented by PAGCOR — including reductions in license fee rates — has spurred robust growth in the electronic gaming sector.

From Php58.16 billion in 2023, gross gaming revenues (GGR) from Electronic Games climbed to Php154.51 billion in 2024 which accounted for nearly half of the industry’s Php372.33 billion GGR.

In the first half of 2025 alone, the sector contributed Php114.83 billion, surpassing revenues from land-based operations and boosting PAGCOR’s total revenues to Php59 billion.

“The iGaming story in the Philippines is no longer just about growth; it’s about how we grow — safely, fairly, and sustainably,” Mr. Tengco said. “We support stricter regulations to protect our people, but we are against a total ban which will only drive players to illegal operators and result in loss of revenues and jobs.”

Mr. Tengco also emphasized PAGCOR’s ongoing reforms, including the separation of regulatory and operational functions, stronger responsible gaming safeguards, stricter advertising standards, the upcoming launch of a 24/7 helpline, and the adoption of digital tools such as the PAGCOR Guarantee portal and AI-driven monitoring systems.

He also called on industry players to practice “compliance by design” in their operations, strictly follow anti-money laundering regulations, strengthen their KYC (Know Your Customer) guidelines, and fully support PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming initiatives.

“With responsible growth, compliance, and transparency, the Philippines can develop a safer, stronger, and globally competitive iGaming industry,” he added.

Mr. Tengco also expressed gratitude to Light & Wonder for organizing the event, highlighting its role as a key partner in strengthening the country’s gaming sector.

Light & Wonder, a global leader in cross-platform gaming, provides content, systems, and solutions for casino, online, and social gaming operators worldwide. Its innovations have supported PAGCOR in broadening product offerings and keeping the Philippine gaming industry competitive in the rapidly evolving iGaming market.
