Antti Koivula on Betsson, Finland and more: The Gambling Files RTFM 150
Description
There’s the usual nonsense to kick off, Jon apologising for not doing an episode last week, that kind of thing [0:00 – 20:30 ], then the chaps meet their latest guest, the excellent Antti Koivula, legal advisor for Legal Gaming, of Finland.
Antti covers the surprising news about Betsson in Finland and the subsequent blacklisting; we delve into the background of the Betsson case, the legislative reform for gambling advertisement, and the administrative proceedings against the company. Antti explains the advertising restrictions in Finland and some of the nuances around affiliate marketing. The conversation also explores PSP blocking and its potential impact on Betsson. Finally, the timelines and licensing process in Finland are discussed, and Antti is surprisingly optimistic about the future of the country’s legal gambling market [20:31 – 1:07:18 ].
