The regulation establishes standardised gaming rules for all exclusive licence holders across Finland's gambling sector, but lacks specificity about which gambling types (casinos, betting, poker, etc.) are covered.
The regulation may apply to land-based casinos or other venue-based gambling, but the update provides insufficient detail to confirm venue type or specific gambling product categories.
Topic
The regulation establishes standardised gaming rules and operational requirements that all exclusive licence holders must follow, representing a new ongoing obligation imposed on licensed operators under Finland's Gambling Act framework.
The standardised gaming rules may include technical specifications or system-level standards for how gambling activities are organised and conducted by operators.

TITLE: Finland's Ministry of The Interior Issues Regulation on Gaming Rules for Exclusive Licence Holders
BODY:
On an unspecified date in 2025, Finland's Ministry of The Interior issued a draft regulation establishing gaming rules for gambling operators holding exclusive licences under the Gambling Act (10/2026). The regulation prescribes standardised gaming rules that all exclusive licence holders must follow when organising gambling activities.
The regulation derives its authority from Section 31, subsections 6 and 7 of the Gambling Act (10/2026). The specific gaming rules that operators must observe are detailed in an annex to the regulation. This development represents Finland's effort to standardise operational requirements across its exclusive licence holder framework, ensuring consistent player protections and regulatory compliance across the gambling sector. The regulation applies to all operators holding exclusive licences to conduct gambling activities in Finland.
The regulation will enter into force on July 1, 2027. Finland's Ministry of The Interior, led by Minister Mari Rantanen with input from consultant Jukka Tukia, developed this measure to establish clear, uniform standards for exclusive licence holders operating under the new Gambling Act framework.
