From 13 November 2026 Vave will accept no traffic originating from Greece, according to a notice to affiliate partners. Vave has published no statement on balances, open bets or accounts. Here is what the terms say, and how to check a licensed site in Greece.

From 13 November 2026, Vave will accept no traffic originating from Greece, according to a notice to affiliate partners. Vave has not published a statement for players, and it has not said why the traffic will stop.

From 13 November 2026, Bonusjungle's own listing will show Vave as not available in Greece. That is a listing change by Bonusjungle, not a change to Vave's terms.

If you still have a balance or open bets, the practical question is what you can do before that date.

What changes on 13 November

The notice to affiliate partners says that, from 13 November 2026, Vave accepts no traffic originating from Greece and that affiliates must discontinue Greece-targeted campaigns. No time of day is given for the cut-off.

Balances, open bets and withdrawals

No public statement from Vave was found on Greek balances, open bets, withdrawals or account closure.

Contact Vave support — the terms give the address support@vave.com — and withdraw before 13 November. If you have open bets, contact support about them and note the positions before the date. Acting by 12 November leaves a margin; that timing is ours, not a deadline set by Vave.

Vave's terms, read on 10 November, say that Vave may close a player account at its discretion, without a reason or prior notice, and refund the balance minus withdrawal charges (clause 10.5); that closing an account that still has a balance incurs a manual transfer fee of €12.50 (clause 8.10); that Vave may check identity before payouts and may hold or cancel pending withdrawals in the meantime, and that failure to pass verification within two weeks can lead to account closure and confiscation of winnings (clause 8.7); and that after twelve months without a login, a dormant-account fee of 10 USDT a month can apply, or the remaining balance if less (clause 11.1).

A payment through a bank or a payment institution may not go through even if a balance is showing. According to Protothema (Stelios Kraloglou, 7 October), when a provider is on the EEEP blacklist, banks and payment institutions must stop transactions to and from it — deposits and withdrawals alike. A balance shown in the account is not, by itself, a guarantee that the money can move through the banking system. Protothema describes this as a transaction block, not a seizure or a loss of the funds.

What is already in place in Greece

vave.com has been on the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP, ΕΕΕΠ) blacklist since 20 June 2023 (38th edition, decision 14112/20.06.2023). The 54th edition, dated 30 October 2026 (decision 35393/30.10.2026), lists 21 Vave-named domains. None of those domains was added in the 54th edition. According to the Hellenic Bank Association's notice of 2 November, the list now runs to 15,479 sites, from 14,977 previously.

The EEEP blacklist page says a site can be listed if it is reachable from a Greek IP address (art. 2.1 of EEEP decision 51/3/26.04.2013). The same page says those listed cannot be licensed in Greece or take part in a licensed operator there.

In June 2026, Law 5313/2026 (ΦΕΚ Α' 102/25.06.2026, as reproduced on TaxHeaven) amended Law 4002/2011. Art. 63 placed blacklisted fully-qualified domains in a Response Policy Zone on an EEEP DNS server that updates Greek ISPs' DNS servers, so that the sites and mobile apps are blocked (amending art. 48 §8 of Law 4002/2011). The same article has the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT, ΕΕΤΤ) sending the EEEP a weekly list of new .gr and .ελ domains; matching domains are suspended for two months and then deleted (art. 48 §9 as replaced). Art. 66 (new art. 51 §7α of Law 4002/2011) sets a fine of €5,000 to €50,000 per established breach for anyone who promotes gambling offered by persons who are not on the licensed list or the Register of Affiliates. General EEEP fines under art. 51 §1 run from €1,000 to €2 million per breach. According to pressaris.gr (12 October), the language of the content is irrelevant, and the rule extends to affiliate links, bonus codes and paid posts.

According to the same Protothema report, the EEEP has filed criminal complaints against 18 influencers, with 3.6 million combined followers, for promoting 11 unlicensed sites linked to eight providers. The cases were at the pre-investigation stage, and no fines had been announced. We covered that filing in our earlier report.

Where to check a licensed site

The EEEP site checker records 18 licence holders for online gambling and "over 15,000" sites on the blacklist. Its licence-holder register lists the holders, and the site legality checker (Έλεγχος Νομιμότητας Ιστοτόπου) shows whether a site belongs to a licence holder, to an affiliate of one, or is on the blacklist.

The offshore casinos on Bonusjungle do not apply to Greece.
