The agreements are part of Finnplay’s objective to support operators with regulatory experience and local knowledge.  



Key points:  

- Finland’s regulated online gambling market is set to launch between 2026 and 2027

- Finnplay has secured multiple Letters of Intent (LOIs) with prospective operators

- The company holds licences in eight regulated markets and ISO 27001 certification

Finnplay has confirmed new operator agreements as it prepares for the launch of Finland’s regulated online gambling market.  

The country’s Government has set the framework for market regulation, targeting an opening date in the second half of 2026 or by 1 January 2027.  

Finnplay has secured several Letters of Intent (LOIs) with prospective operators, reflecting interest in its platform and compliance-focused solutions.

The company, which operates in eight regulated markets, plans to leverage its experience in jurisdictions such as Sweden, Estonia and the Netherlands to support operators entering Finland’s new regulatory environment.  

Jaakko Soininen, Finnplay Managing Director, stated: “Being based in Finland gives us unique insights into the opportunities and challenges of this market. We are proud to leverage our local expertise, regulatory knowledge and innovative solutions to support operators in Finland.”  

Finnplay’s expansion follows its partnership with Mindway AI in September 2024. The collaboration integrates Mindway AI’s technology into Finnplay’s platform, providing operators with tools to monitor and detect at-risk gambling behaviour in real time.  

Good to know: Finnplay’s platform is certified under ISO 27001 standards, ensuring data security and regulatory compliance

Mindway AI’s GameScanner solution, incorporated into Finnplay’s systems, uses artificial intelligence to identify potential gambling-related risks and improve player protection.

As part of its preparations for Finland’s regulatory launch, Finnplay has localised its services by translating its website into Finnish and plans to showcase its offerings at ICE Barcelona 2025, scheduled for 20–22 January.
