Finland: National Police Board confirms 12 online gambling licences granted

Finland's regulator has confirmed for the first time that 12 licences have been granted for the market opening on 1 July 2027, with 79 applications received and none rejected.

What was confirmed

The National Police Board said that as of 26 October 2026, 79 licence applications had been submitted, 12 licences granted and none rejected. Veikkaus, the current state operator, was not among the 12.

SkillOnNet said on 28 October that it is one of the licence holders, alongside Wildz Group and Hippos ATG, which had announced their licences earlier.

What this means for the register

The regulator has not yet published a public register of licence holders or their websites, so IRLG has not added Finnish records. They will be added once the official list is available.
