TITLE: Finland's Ministry of The Interior Issues Decree on Exclusive Gaming Licence Holder Game Rules
BODY:
On an unspecified date in 2025, Finland's Ministry of The Interior issued a draft decree establishing game rules for holders of exclusive gaming licences under the Gambling Act (10/2026).
The decree, issued under the authority of Section 31, subsections 6 and 7 of the Gambling Act (10/2026), sets out standardised game rules that exclusive gaming licence holders must follow. The rules appear in an attachment to the decree and establish uniform requirements for how games of chance must be conducted by entities holding exclusive gaming rights in Finland. This standardisation aims to ensure consistent player protections and fair gaming practices across all exclusive licence holders operating in the Finnish market.
The decree will come into force on July 1, 2027. Finland's Ministry of The Interior, led by Minister Mari Rantanen, with support from Counselling Officer Jukka Tukia, issued this regulation to align exclusive gaming licence holder operations with the updated Gambling Act framework.
