    This provision seems to contradict those proposed in Art. 49 point 3, which states that license holders shall keep a company account as well as a separate players’ account in a financial institution or payment institution or electronic money institution that is established and operates legally in Greece. We would recommend that the Greek government allows operators and their customers to use all means of payment that are legally used in the European Union or the European Economic Area in order to ensure compliance with the Payment Service Directive, the Anti-Money Laundering Directive, and the free movement of capital as guaranteed by the EU Treaty. In particular, the use of payment service providers should not be limited to Greek banking institutions. Operators and their customers should be allowed to use any payment service providers in the EU as long as they are licensed and regulated in another Member State. Furthermore, means of payment should not be limited to credit cards and bank transfers. Modern, safe and secure means of payment such as e-wallets and pre-paid cards, which are very popular in the online gambling sector, should also be allowed. It goes without saying that these means of payment must again be provided by companies licensed and regulated in the EU. We appreciate that capital control measures might be in place to address Greece’s economic difficulties but any restrictions to the use of payments services providers from the rest of the EU should in our view be limited in duration and scope.
