Finland online casino guide

This is a guide to brick and mortar as well as online casinos in Finland (officially the Republic of Finland, a rich Northern European country with a population of 5.5 million, a member of the EU). Find out which are the best casinos and online casino sites in Finland, or learn more about the legal status of casino gambling in the country.

Online casinos in Finland

Legal status: legal, state monopoly of Veikkaus Oy and PAF, however players can play freely online due to EU laws, explained below

 

Online casino gambling is legal in Finland, although it is heavily regulated. There is a state-owned company, Veikkaus Oy (established in 2017, from a merger of three companies: RAY, Fintoto, Veikkaus). This company has a monopoly over all online casino gambling on the Finnish mainland.

While this regulation is quite strict, there are some loopholes. The biggest one is the autonomous region of the Åland islands, which belongs to the Republic of Finland, but it has its own gambling monopoly, PAF (Penningautomatförening).

PAF (also a monopoly) is in charge of all gambling in the Åland Islands, including online casino gambling.

The problem is that PAF operates in an autonomous zone of Finland, but they made their online casino site available to all Finnish players, even players from outside of Åland Islands can register and play. Veikkaus Oy felt that PAF was infringing on their rights as the sole operator of online casino games in Finland.

The conflict escalated to the point where Veikkaus Oy (back then RAY, as it was before 2017, before the merge) sent police officers to raid the offices of PAF, in order to have them shut down.

The Finnish government finally managed to put an end to the conflict after years of litigation and mounting legal expenses on both sides (paid for by the tax payers….). Currently both companies have their own online casino site, and both are allowed to offer online casino games to all Finnish players, including the Finnish autonomous territories: Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

The only two domestic Finnish online casinos are the platforms of Veikkaus Oy and PAF.

The other big loophole in the online casino legislation of Finland is that the country has been a member of the EU since 1995.

Because Finland is an EU country, Article 56 TFEU1 (EU gambling directives) apply. This says that other EU online gambling companies should be provided access to the Finnish market, and a way to obtain local online casinos licenses. However, no local gambling licenses are issued, and according to some interpretation of EU laws, foreign online gambling websites can not be blocked or prosecuted in this case (because they can not get a licence).

There have been many issues, and litigation behind scenes on an EU level because of this Finnish gambling monopolies (their monopoly status is also against EU laws btw.), but the EU has refused to take action, because the Finnish gambling monopiles are essentially non-profit companies and all profits are spent on socially beneficial projects.

/Comment: Many European countries are in similar situations. The verdicts of the EU top court are very diverse and context dependent. E.g.: Germany was in a similar situation. It did not issue online casino licenses prior to 2021, and the EU top court ruled that Germany can not block or prosecute these unlicensed operators (or their German players) because they didn’t provide them with away to obtain local online casino licenses2./ 

Conclusion: Right now the government insist that Finnish citizens can only play in the online casinos of Veikkaus Oy and PAF. Foreign online casinos dispute this, and it is very likely that this violates EU laws. Offshore online gambling companies continue to accept players from Finland (you can see these online casinos below). Players who play in these digital casinos are not prosecuted in any way3, Finnish players can freely use these websites. Offshore online casinos, which accept players from Finland have also not been prosecuted by the EU.

This is a complicated issue that is far from being settled, and many more lawsuits are expected.  The EU courts are very slow, therefore the situation won’t likely improve for the foreseeable future.

What is certain is that international gambling sites are forbidden to advertise within the country, and some of the biggest gambling platforms are blocked, despite that this contravenes EU directives, as discussed above.

By scrolling below, you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Finnish players.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Finland?

Yes, tourist (or non-citizen expats, or illegal migrants) can play online freely while enjoying their stay in the country.

Taxation of online casino sites in Finland: 

  • 12% on the operator’s gross profit (only 1.5% if they are a non-profit)

 

For the players, taxation of gambling winnings in Finland:

Officially gambling winnings are only not taxable as long they are from companies registered in EEA countries (European Economic Area). It is not known how strictly this is enforced, but IMO it is very likely that the tax authority of Finland does not check the origins of your gambling winnings, unless it’s a really big amount (€100 000+).

But, as always, consult an account (a licensed CPA) if you win a larger amount.

Land-based casinos in Finland

Legal status of casinos in Finland: legal, state monopoly of Veikkaus Oy and PAF

 

Land-based casino gambling is legal in Finland, and it is also a monopoly of Veikkaus Oy and PAF in the Åland Islands.

The main piece of gambling legislation governing casinos gambling is the 2001 Lotteries Act1, and its amendments.

There are 14 casinos currently in operation, and there are 50+ slot halls  (they only have slots, video poker, gaming machines, no card games, no dealers, no poker, they operate under the brand name “Pelaamo” + 2 on cruise ships, brand name: Silja).

Additionally, some of these bingo halls even have gaming machines and act like mini casinos, e.g.: how a bingo hall in Pori looks like. The biggest bingo hall operator is probably www.bingoon.fi.

Finland gets a considerable number of tourists (23 million overnight stays2), which further boosts the casinos sector.

By far the biggest casino in the country is Casino Helsinki, but by international standards it’s only medium sized, there are no truly big casinos in Finland. Part from Casino Helsinki Veikkaus 11 additional casino under the brand name “Feel vegas” (see below, in the casino list).

All profits from the Veikkaus casinos are spent on socially beneficial programs.

PAF operates one casino too, Casino Arkipelag, all income from this casino goes to the government of the Åland Islands.

Finnish casinos don’t have entrance fees, but they do have dress codes, it’s smart casual. Finnish casinos are not non-stop (not 24/7).

Greenland and the Faroe Islands do not have casinos.

You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Finland?

Yes, both locals and tourists can play in the casinos.

Casinos licenses are not issued to private companies.

Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Finland:

  • 12% on the operator’s gross profit (only 1.5% if they are a non-profit)
  • 1.5% on the gross profit from keeping automated machines (slots, video poker machines etc.) and/or giving consumer goods as prizes
  • 5% on the total value of winnings and prizes given out in a bingo game minus the prizes that entitle the player to a free repeat game
  • 30% on the total value of winnings and prizes given out in any other lottery or competition

 

For the players, taxation of gambling winnings in Finland:

Officially gambling winnings are only not taxable as long they are from companies registered in EEA countries (European Economic Area). It is not known how strictly this is enforced, but IMO it is very likely that the tax authority of Finland does not check the origins of your gambling winnings, unless it’s a really big amount (€100 000+).

But, as always, consult an account (a licensed CPA) if you win a larger amount.

Apart from the gaming machines Casino Sello has a sports bar and a restaurant too (+live music on the weekends). The place is advertised as a “unique entertainment club with gaming”.

The gaming venue has no official online presence, therefore, even essential things like opening hours are only available on unofficial casino directory and review websites, which are often many years out of date.

Bitcoin casinos Finland

Legal status: not specifically regulated

 

There are no bitcoin casinos in Finland.

None of the online casinos or land-based casinos operated by Veikkaus Oy or PAF accept bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum or any other cryptocurrency. However, the offshore online casinos below accept alternative digital currencies.

 

 

History of Finnish online casino regulation

Casino gambling first appeared in Finland in the 1920s with the appearance of imported slot machines, but it took until 1938 for RAY (the Finnish Slot Machine Association, the state owned casino operator before the merger) to be set up. This entity has remained in charge of casino gambling up till 2017, which included online casino gambling.

The 2002 Act on Gaming was what made RAY and PAF officially the sole providers of online casino games in Finland. Many turned to PAF’s online casino due to their better games and promotions, which led to the conflicts between the two entities.

In the end the Finnish government decided that both companies may offer online casino games to all Finnish players.

Apart from the interior conflicts, online casino gambling is also a problematic area in international context. Finland is a member of the EU, the country is supposed to adhere to its regulations which oppose monopolies that exclude companies from other member states. However, Finland maintains that since all gambling is non-profit (both PAF and Veikkaus Oy), they are exempt from the EU regulations. Obviously not everyone agrees with this, and there was a lot of litigation in the background over the years.

The Finnish government has also been attempting to prevent locals from playing on foreign online casino sites by forbidding the advertisements of such companies, and by blocking these offshore platforms. However publications with gambling advertisements may still legally be imported to Finland due to a loophole. Not to mention,, due to EU laws blocking foreign online gambling websites if they are registered in other EU countries is problematic.

Despite these issues Finnish players can play freely online, no Finnish players was prosecuted for visiting foreign online casinos, similarly to other EU countries.

The following online gambling websites accept players from Finland:

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Logo of Kiva.org. You can read about my non-profit activity right next to the picture.
Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
By being on this site, you agree to terms and conditions, and privacy policy. You must be at least 18, and if you are a gambling addict, or a citizen of Hungary, please leave the site.
