Casinos in Finland: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Finland has historically maintained a state monopoly under Veikkaus, which owns lotteries, slots, betting and the only land-based casino, Casino Helsinki. Private online casinos held no licences, but Finnish players widely used operators licensed in Malta and other EU jurisdictions, acting in a grey area. The country is now undertaking a major reform: the authorities have announced a shift to a licensing system that should open the market to private online casino and betting operators from around 2026-2027, with a new regulator and responsible-gambling rules. The currency is the euro; bank transfers, online banking and e-wallets are popular. Winnings from EU/EEA operators are usually untaxed. Players should follow the progress of the reform and the licensing status.
