Finnish Gambling Licence

B2C License Applicants

Kick-Off Meeting

We begin with an initial consultation to outline the entire licensing process. This includes a discussion of key requirements, anticipated timelines, and strategic considerations to help you prepare for a successful licence application. This meeting sets the foundation for a structured and efficient engagement.

Regulatory Compliance and Eligibility Criteria

We provide detailed guidance on local regulatory compliance and eligibility requirements. Our team supports your legal and compliance departments in understanding and aligning with the Finnish Gambling Authority’s expectations, helping you navigate key rules from the outset.

Liaison with Regulatory Authorities

Our team assists in managing communications with the Finnish regulator, acting as your trusted liaison throughout the licensing process. We help interpret regulatory feedback and ensure timely and accurate responses, making the path to obtaining the licence as smooth as possible.

Policies and Procedures

We support the drafting and development of all required policies and procedures for your licensing application. This includes advising your legal or compliance team on how best to align internal documentation with regulatory requirements.

Application Submission

We guide and assist you through the preparation and formal submission of your gambling licence application to the Finnish regulator. Our involvement ensures all necessary elements are complete, coherent, and compliant with the regulator’s expectations.

Self-Exclusion System Setup

We offer support in understanding and fulfilling the self-exclusion system requirements as mandated by Finnish law. While we do not handle the technical implementation, we guide you through the legal and procedural aspects of compliance.

Accreditation & Certification

We assist in navigating the process of acquiring the necessary third-party accreditations and certifications for your gaming systems and products. These steps are critical to meeting the technical compliance standards set by the Finnish authorities.

Bank & Payment Institutions

We provide legal and strategic advice related to banking arrangements and the use of e-money institutions. Where applicable, we also offer Legal Opinions (subject to additional fees) to support your licensing or operational requirements.

Translation & Notarisation

We coordinate with trusted third-party providers to ensure that all required translations and notarised documents are handled efficiently and in accordance with regulatory standards.

Technical Development & IT Infrastructure

While we do not offer platform development or IT implementation services directly, we are happy to refer you to our network of trusted technology partners who can support your technical development and infrastructure needs.

Assistance for Gambling Licence Applications in Finland

We offer full assistance from start to obtaining the licence. Everything related to the licensing process is included in our assistance. However, the assistance does not cover areas unrelated to the licensing process and cannot act as the entire legal/compliance department of the applicant entity. We provide specific expertise relating to the Finnish gambling licence to help the applicant entity obtain the licence.

BASIC LEGAL ISSUES

Forming a business

We assist game developers who want to move beyond the “garage developer” stereotype into a real business. We will advice you on questions regarding company registration in Finland and help you to choose the best option for you.

Intellectual Property

We will advice you on intellectual property and how they can affect or protect your project. Branding and trademark law are essential when starting a new company and developing a new game. It is also important for any developer to understand the basics of copyright law.

Contracts

Contracts are the lifeblood of any form of business, and understanding what exactly you are signing is essential for any game developer.
