Latest developments in Finland see opposition parties propose a number of amendments to the Gambling Bill and its mandate to modernize the country’s gambling laws and launch a new ‘open license’ market by 2027.
The Finnish parliament’s Administration Committee has been tasked with ironing out the legislation since September, following the Bill’s scrutiny by the Constitutional Committee – which identified several areas that it labelled ‘too vague’ for such a dramatic overhaul.
Upon reviewing, the Administration Committee has indeed ironed out some elements of the legislation, though probably not the parts Finland’s prospective multi-licence, private actor gambling market viewed as necessary.
The opposition parties, The Greens and Left Alliance, have suggested serious restrictions to Finland’s forthcoming gambling marketplace in 2027, subject to finalising the terms of Gambling Bill.
