Finland-based iGaming platform provider Finnplay has secured operator agreements, affirming its readiness and commitment to supporting operators as Finland prepares to open its regulated online gambling market. The market is expected to launch in the second half of 2026 or by 1 January 2027, as outlined in the Finnish Government Programme (in Finnish).

As a Finnish-headquartered company, Finnplay brings unparalleled local expertise, deep regulatory knowledge, and extensive experience in regulated jurisdictions to this significant market opportunity while fully supporting robust and transparent regulation.

In preparation for this expansion, the company has already secured several Letters of Intent (LOIs) with future Finnish market operators. This reflects strong interest and confidence in Finnplay’s offering.

“Being based in Finland gives us unique insights into the opportunities and challenges of this market,” said Finnplay’s Managing Director, Jaakko Soininen. “We are proud to leverage our local expertise, regulatory knowledge, and innovative solutions to support operators in Finland. As a company operating in several regulated jurisdictions, we are strong advocates for robust and transparent regulation, which benefits both operators and players.”

Finnplay has a proven track record of succeeding in challenging Nordic and European markets, including the Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Estonia, and Lithuania. With licenses across eight regulated markets and ISO 27001 certification, Finnplay continues to support high standards of compliance and innovation. As Finland’s online gambling market approaches regulatory opening, Finnplay is eager to bring this wealth of experience to ensure the success of its partners. The company has also translated its website into Finnish to better serve local stakeholders.

The company is also excited to participate in ICE Barcelona 2025 January 20-22, where the team will be ready to connect with clients, showcase its innovative platform, and share insights on upcoming Finnish regulation.

KSA Files Over 4600 Reports Targeting Illegal Gambling Ads on Meta Platforms

In April, the Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has filed over 4600 reports with Meta regarding illegal advertisements. Combating illegal gambling offerings is one of the KSA’s priorities. Special attention is paid by the KSA to the marketing practices of the gambling companies, which frequently advertise on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Therefore, the KSA monitors the volume of illegal advertisements.

Illegal practices

Illegal gambling providers place many advertisements on social media. In doing so, they use names and logos of well-known Dutch athletes and major brands to enhance their credibility. It is often difficult for consumers to determine whether a gambling provider holds a license. To protect consumers, the KSA therefore makes a strong effort to combat online advertising by illegal providers. The KSA does this, among other measures, by filing reports with major media companies more frequently.

Cooperation in alliance

To tackle illegal providers on social media, the KSA works closely with various companies and organisations. During a recent meeting of the alliance, current knowledge, trends and insights were shared. Advertising on social media was a key topic, as these platforms reach a large number of people.

The working group also discussed how companies can protect their trademarks and held a brainstorming session on what else is needed to tackle illegal providers on social media. The KSA will use the outcomes of the meeting in the coming period to take even better action.

Frustrating infrastructure

In the Netherlands, online gambling is only permitted with licensed providers. The KSA’s approach to illegal offerings ranges from imposing fines to disrupting the infrastructure used by illegal providers. The online world, and social media in particular, plays a major role within this infrastructure.
