<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>In the 1950s, an effort to upgrade Greek sport and improve its infrastructure began. In this framework, the General Secretariat for Sports (Greek: <a href="https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%93%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AE_%CE%93%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BC%CE%BC%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%B1_%CE%91%CE%B8%CE%BB%CE%B7%CF%84%CE%B9%CF%83%CE%BC%CE%BF%CF%8D" class="extiw external" title="el:Γενική Γραμματεία Αθλητισμού">Γ.Γ.Α</a>) was established in 1957. In order to secure funding, the idea to utilize revenue from football prognostics - following the example of other European countries - came to fruition. With this aim, OPAP was established in 1958 as a <a href="https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9D%CE%BF%CE%BC%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C_%CF%80%CF%81%CF%8C%CF%83%CF%89%CF%80%CE%BF" class="extiw external" title="el:Νομικό πρόσωπο">private legal entity</a> under the umbrella of the General Secretariat for Sport.<sup id="cite_ref-OPAP:_History_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-OPAP:_History-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the same time of its establishment, a Royal Decree institutionalized the first game OPAP introduced named PRO-PO (the Greek Acronym for Football Prognostics) which was organised along the lines of Italy's Toto Calcio.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> PRO-PO was launched in March 1959, a few months before the introduction of <a href="https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A0%CF%81%CF%89%CF%84%CE%AC%CE%B8%CE%BB%CE%B7%CE%BC%CE%B1_%CE%95%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%AC%CE%B4%CE%B1%CF%82_%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%86%CE%B1%CE%AF%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85_%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B4%CF%81%CF%8E%CE%BD" class="extiw external" title="el:Πρωτάθλημα Ελλάδας ποδοσφαίρου ανδρών">the Football League First Division</a> and part of its revenues contributed to funding the newly created division. Initially there were no exclusive agencies and games players at partner corner-shops/kiosks, dairies, e.t.c while geographically the game was limited to Athens, Thessaloniki and Piraeus.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_early_years">The early years</h3></div>

<p>PRO-PO enjoyed success from the start. This was due, in part, to strong advertising campaigns. In the 1960s the game saw various improvements such as the paying out winnings for slips with 11 correct predictions. OPAP was present in 70 cities and in 1966 it had reached 795 agencies. During this period, it moved its headquarters to <a href="Panepistimiou_Street" title="Panepistimiou Street">Panepistimiou Street</a>, opposite the <a href="National_Library_of_Greece" title="National Library of Greece">National Library</a>. In March 1965, OPAP launched its second game, named "6 from 36", an adaptation of a similar German game, the establishment of which was provided in the same royal decree as PRO-PO. There were 36 games on each slip and players had to predict 6 that would result in a draw with the most goals scored. The game was initially met with approval but its slips dropped quickly resulting in the game being stopped in April 1966.<sup id="cite_ref-opap.gr_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-opap.gr-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dictatorship_era">Dictatorship era</h3></div>

<p>During the <a href="Greek_military_junta_of_1967%E2%80%9374" class="mw-redirect" title="Greek military junta of 1967–74">military junta period</a>, OPAP experienced impressive growth, helped by the promotion of sport by the dictatorial regime. Agencies shot up to 2,000 from 900 and in 1974 revenues amounted to 1.3 billion drachma, up from 176 million drachma in 1966. The increase in agency profit margins, from 5% to 10%, contributed to this expansion as did the introduction of group systems and the valuable gifts that were drawn (cars, trips etc.) since 1965.<sup id="cite_ref-opap.gr_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-opap.gr-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Political_changeover">Political changeover</h3></div>

<p>After <a href="Third_Hellenic_Republic" title="Third Hellenic Republic">the end of the dictatorship</a>, the impressive growth of OPAP continued. In 1981 agencies amounted to 2,952 and revenue stood at 7.3 billion drachma. At the same time, the management of its sponsorship became more transparent and was subject to parliamentary scrutiny. OPAP funds contributed to the creation of hundreds of stadiums, closed gymnasiums and other sporting cites throughout the country, while its sponsorship were no longer limited to sport but extended to culture too. At the end of the decade, agencies had reached 4,000 in number and two more games were introduced, LOTTO and PROTO, the conduct of which led to the significant upgrading of the Organization's computerization.<sup id="cite_ref-opap.gr_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-opap.gr-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Listing_in_the_stock_exchange">Listing in the stock exchange</h3></div>

<p>LOTTO and TZOKER was launched in 1990 and PROTO in 1992; and followed by PROPOGOAL in 1996. Besides, 2000 was an important year in OPAP's history as Pame Stoixima, the first legal sports betting game, was launched in Greece. This game would quickly turn into OPAP's most profitable product. In 1999, OPAP turned into a <a href="S.A._(corporation)" title="S.A. (corporation)">Societe Anonyme</a>, under the name OPAP S.A. and the duration of this legal entity form was set at 100 years. In 2001 OPAP got listed in the <a href="Athens_Stock_Exchange" title="Athens Stock Exchange">Athens Stock Exchange</a> through a law, according to which, the State could dispense up to 49% of the company's share capital to investors. Initially 5% of the total stock was dispense and the State proceeded with more stock pack sakes in 2002, 2003 and 2005, with its stake being reduced at 33,6%.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2003, following a bilateral agreement between the Greek State and the Republic of Cyprus, OPAP S.A. established <a href="https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9F%CE%A0%CE%91%CE%A0_%CE%9A%CF%8D%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85" class="extiw external" title="el:ΟΠΑΠ Κύπρου">OPAP Cyprus Ltd</a>, which is primary responsible for the organization, conduct and marketing of the company's games in <a href="Cyprus" title="Cyprus">Cyprus</a>.

<p>On 11 October 2013, the State sold its remaining stake in the organization (33% of the share capital) to a private equity fund <a href="Emma_Capital" title="Emma Capital">Emma Delta</a> which paid 622 million EUR to the former major shareholder, <a href="Hellenic_Republic_Asset_Development_Fund" title="Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund">Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund</a> (HRADF), for the acquisition of this stake.

<ul><li>February 2017, OPAP offered a new contract for its agents alongside the 2020 vision presentation. The new contract lowers commissions as they are determined by a fixed percentage of the Net Gaming Revenue(39% for 2017, 37% for 2018, 35% for 2019 and 2020). That commission is then adapted in each quarter depending on customers winnings. If customers win more than anticipated within a quarter part of the agents commission has to be returned.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>

<li>March 2017, agents were on strike.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>

<li>March 2017, OPAP 9 agents disagreed with the new contract OPAP offered alongside the 2020 vision. Within a month they initiated Judicial review to the supreme court concerning the unconstitutionally of the new contract. OPAP management team has seen that move as a threat to its monopoly and terminated cooperation with those 9 agents.</li>

<li>March 2018, OPAP terminated cooperation with 600 agents because they did not sign the new contract OPAP offered. That while the case for the new contract is still open at the supreme court. All those agents had signed the old contract which OPAP terminated.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>

<li>The process of cooperation termination with its 600 agents involves removal of all OPAP supplied equipment. During this process an elderly father of an agent passed away the same day the equipment was removed.</li></ul>
