The European gambling market seems to be becoming bipolar: on the one hand, the European Commission is in the process of negotiation for an open and free European market and, on the other hand, some Eropean countries are actively operating state monopolies, and Finland is one of them.

A semi-autonomous region of Finland has recently announced the launch of the new internet gambling site allowing both downloadable gambling and browser-based gambling. The site to be launched with the help of Net Entertainment is an extension of the Paf’s land gambling monopoly.

Strong reputation of Net Entertainment has been the main reason for Paf’s decision to partner with the internet gambling group, and the deal is supposed to run for four years. Please, note that internet gambling in Finland has been illegal so far, and this deal shows some changes already.
