Gaming in Finland to host webinar on Finnish iGaming license application process & tech requirements

From March 1, 2027, Finland’s gambling regulator will start processing online gambling license applications, ahead of the country's iGaming market opening on July 1, 2027.

The secondary legislation and related technical requirements that are necessary to properly submit an iGaming license application are expected to be published imminently.

Although the specific details are yet unknown, it is already clear that Finnish regulations will differ meaningfully from those in other Nordic markets, such as Sweden or Denmark.

Due to these developments, Gaming in Finland will host a webinar on Thursday, March 5 at 14:00 CET/15:00 EET, titled “How Finland is different.”

Gaming in Finland founder Willem van Oort commented: “If you are considering entering the Finnish iGaming market, this webinar comes at a most opportune time: one or perhaps two weeks after the publication of the secondary legislation that is necessary to submit your license application. Naturally, we are particularly grateful to our local partners for helping us make sense of the license application process and the associated technical requirements.”

Topics and speakers

The webinar will cover the following topics:

• Regulatory update
• FAQ: The license application form
• Technical requirements & acceptable solutions

At present, the following speakers have been confirmed:

• Morten Ronde, Founding Partner, Nordic Legal
• Pekka Ilmivalta, Head of Finnish Office, Nordic Legal
