On Thursday, January 5th, 2006, the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) requested from mobile telephony providers information about all kinds of electronic games of chance they provide, and which fall under added value or separately charged services. 

More specifically, it is the case of all kinds of electronic games of chance that the foregoing providers provide or have provided, asking their subscribers to send text messages (SMSs) with a code, where such text messages are charged at a rate that is a multiple of the regular rate, in order for them to participate in a draw to win a prize.
 
The specific action taken by ΕΕΤΤ aims to investigate the need to intervene, in the context of its competences, in order to protect the users of telecommunications services.
