Ownership status

Since the Initial Public Offering (IPO) there was a series of secondary offerings in 2002, 2003 and 2005 when the Hellenic Republic gradually reduced its participation in the Company’s share capital. Finally, since 2013 the company, through an international tender, became fully privatized, a fact that provided the momentum needed to ensure its future development and competitiveness on an international level.

Our games are provided through the widest network of points of sale in Greece (more than 3,150), which are dedicated and branded agencies distributing exclusively OPAP’s products. These agencies act as commercial representatives and are compensated on a performance commission basis. Additionally to the agencies network, the company operates more than 350 Play stores with VLTs in Greece, while the distribution of Instant and Passive Lotteries is extended further via more than 8,000 alternative POS (kiosks, street vendors, etc.).
