Finnish parliament rejects opposition amendments to gambling reform bill
Finland’s parliament rejected opposition amendments to the proposed gambling reform bill, allowing it to proceed without those changes, according to the report. The amendments were defeated 153–21, with 25 MPs absent; a final vote was expected within days, while the legislation proposes replacing the online gambling monopoly with a multi-licence system.
The bill’s progress shapes the proposed licensing rules and market opening for operators preparing to enter Finland.
