Finland’s new gambling law allows criminal prosecution of illegal operators
Finland’s new gambling law is due to take effect on 1 July 2027 and will open the online market to commercial operators, according to the report. The Interior Ministry says the regulator will be able to refer serious or repeated gambling-law violations for criminal prosecution; the measures may also apply to affiliates, influencers and other marketing partners, ministry adviser Mikko Cantell said.
Operators and marketing partners may face criminal proceedings for serious or repeated violations under Finland’s new framework.
