Finnish Market Officially Begins – Be Among the First!

Written by Finnplay | Oct 10, 2025 10:40:28 AM

The wait is almost over. Finland’s long-anticipated gambling reform is moving fast — and the country’s new licensing system will officially open on 1st January 2026.

That means operators now have limited time to secure their technology partners, prepare documentation, and position themselves for launch in one of Europe’s most attractive new regulated markets. To help the industry get ready, Finnplay is joining SBC Webinars for an exclusive session:

“Finnish Market Officially Begins – License Applications Starting in 60 Days!”

Tuesday, 4 November 2025, at 16:00 (Helsinki time)

 

This webinar will focus on practical steps, timelines, and strategies for operators who want to be among the first movers in Finland’s upcoming regulated online gambling market. With licensing just around the corner, now is the time to act — early preparation will be key to success once the applications open.

During November, the new Gambling Act is expected to pass, providing the industry with fresh regulatory clarity and the final details needed for market entry.

Speakers:

  • Minna Ripatti, Founder, Legal Gaming
  • Jari Vähänen, Managing Director, Finnish Gambling Consultants
  • Antti Koivula, Head of Legal, Hippos ATG
  • Jaakko Soininen, Managing Director, Finnplay

These leading experts will discuss what operators, suppliers, and partners need to do now to be ready when the Finnish market opens — from compliance and licensing to technology readiness and collaboration strategies.

If you want to be among the first to enter this highly anticipated market, this is the moment to act.

Join the webinar and make sure you’re ready when Finland’s new era of regulated gaming begins.
