Gamban has started providing services in Finnish language.

Gambling is deeply embedded in Finnish culture, and while there are efforts to curb the harms arising from it, many still struggle to find practical tools. By adding Finnish, Gamban is ensuring that more people can take control of their gambling habits without language barriers standing in the way.

“Language should never be a barrier to accessing help. By introducing Finnish to Gamban, we’re ensuring that more people in Finland can access the tools they need. We hope this update makes the process of blocking gambling on devices more intuitive and effective,” Jack Symons, CEO of Gamban, said.
