Finland approves gambling reform and plans licensed online market from 2027
Finland’s Parliament approved a new Gambling Act earlier this month, introducing licensing for online casinos and fixed-odds betting while reserving lotteries and some other games for Veikkaus. Applications are due to begin next month, and approved operators may launch and market services from 1 July 2027; the article says licences will be required to target Finnish players.
Operators will need Finnish licences to target players when the new licensing regime takes effect.
