Today marks the notification of Finland’s draft gambling law to the European Commission. For those with the stamina to tackle all 357 pages in Finnish, here’s the link to the draft: https://lnkd.in/dXHPNN7A. The proposed law will now undergo a three-month review by the European Commission and EU member states. The draft law shows significant improvements, hinting at the potential for a practical and well-regulated gambling market. It allows for a broad range of games, including horse race betting, with a reasonable tax rate set at 22 percent of GGR. Notably, moderate bonus offers are back in play—though “moderate” remains to be defined. Finland's approach leans on regulatory frameworks from Denmark and Sweden, making much of it familiar to operators already active in these jurisdictions. For instance, it appears Finland intends to introduce systems akin to Denmark’s SAFE-system and Sweden’s approach to advertising moderation. The main provisions of the gambling law will take effect on January 1, 2026, with software supplier licensing (resembling the Danish model) following on January 1, 2027. In the coming days, our Finnish team will dive into the details of the extensive draft law. At Nordic Legal (Nordic Gambling), we know the business inside out, and we’re ready to support operators, software suppliers, and service providers. With our extensive experience in licensing and compliance across Denmark and Sweden, and the expertise of our renowned Finnish gambling specialist, Pekka Ilmivalta, we are very well-positioned to support clients entering the Finnish market. Reach out if you want to receive more free information about the Finnish gambling market or if you’d like help with legal guidance, detailed analysis, or translation of the new Finnish regulations.

As media and communication formats both diversify and converge, and the need to differentiate from one’s competitors and capture the customer’s attention becomes increasingly acute, gaming businesses have sought to establish a connection with their customers through the use advertising and marketing employing individuals or characters that the public knows, trusts or otherwise has an affinity for. But at what point does society deem such use inappropriate? A panel of practitioners, regulators and other experts will discuss where the lines can and should be drawn in the use of social influencers, celebrities, entertainers, athletes and other persons (both real and fictional). In particular, this panel, moderated by Peter Czegledy, will explore the nuances regulators, responsible gaming practitioners, suppliers, and operators must grapple with to ensure the benefits of new media forms are captured while contributing to broader regulatory goals. Along the way, it will look at the risks to underage and vulnerable consumers, lessons from various jurisdictions, and how the area may evolve in the future. Join Peter, Nina Henningsen, David Phillips, Tomás Paiva Rosado, Maria McDonald, and Luiz Felipe Maia for our last panel of the day, Due and Undue Influence: The Use of Social Influencers, Celebrities, Entertainers, Athletes and Others in Gambling Marketing and Advertising, on Wednesday afternoon!
