Player withholding tax explanation (Greece)

Player Withholding Tax (PWT) is a tax that Greek gaming law applies to certain gaming profits.

PWT is deducted from eligible profits that exceed €100 in

• Poker
• Casino

Your profit is calculated over each 24-hour gaming session.

PWT is only deducted from any profit above €100 earned during that session for

• Cash games
• Casino games

If gaming activity continues when a session ends, that activity is included in the next session's calculation.

Profit is calculated on each individual tournament.

1. The buy-in is subtracted from any prizes you win
2. PWT is then deducted

This calculation is done

• when you leave the tournament, or:
• when the tournament ends.

 

How are bounty prizes taxed?

Bounty prizes are also subject to tax.

They are included in the daily profit calculation, not the tournament profit calculation.

Your bets are subtracted from your winnings during the gaming session.

Chips that remain in play when the session ends are not included.

We subtract the buy-in from the prizes you win in each tournament.
