Two new drafts on technical regulations will supplement Finland’s gradual transition to a licensed online gambling regime over the next months.
A new revamped gambling framework, of which the drafts (subject to change) will be a part of, is expected to come into effect at the start of next year – officially allowing operators to start applying for a license. The actual market launch is slated to kick off in January 2027.
The publishing of both sets of drafts will ease concerns from some corners that this slated launch date would be delayed.
The latest drafts are in line with international regulatory standards, focusing on random number generation (RNG), information security and external auditing.
