Play North Secures a Five-year Finnish Online Gambling Licence

Play North, via one of its group subsidiaries Play Suomi Ltd, has officially been granted a five-year gambling licence by the National Police Board of Finland. Licence RALU/2027/L121 is valid from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2032.

The Finnish licence marks the group’s third major regulatory milestone of 2026, following the successful granting of an online gambling licence in Portugal (Vincino.pt) and the five-year renewal of its Dutch licence for Kansino.nl. Together, these achievements complete a regulatory hat-trick for Play North and are a landmark in the group’s strategy of focusing 100% only on regulated markets. Building on its experience in the Netherlands and Portugal, Play North looks forward to bringing its approach to online casino entertainment to Finland. With a focus on locally tailored brands, responsible gambling and player protection, the company aims to deliver the same simple, safe and genuinely fun online casino experience to Finnish players.

Greg Papanastasiou, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Play North, said: “One, two, three — three licences secured is a fantastic achievement for the group and Play North and a testament to our rigorous compliance and dedication to fully regulated jurisdictions. With our Finnish licence now granted, we are further strengthening our robust regulatory footprint, ensuring that player protection, safety, and responsible gambling remain at the very heart of everything we do.”
