Casino guides for Finnish players
Three guides cover what the law allows in Finland today and from July 2027, when casino winnings are taxed, and how bank-ID payments work. Each draws on Finnish government and Tax Administration sources and the payment providers.
Key points
- Veikkaus keeps its monopoly until 30 June 2027; licensed private operators may start on 1 July 2027.
- Winnings from EEA-licensed casinos are currently tax-free; non-EEA winnings are taxable income.
- Trustly and Zimpler each serve 7 of the 16 casinos in our Finnish list.

Why licence and tax go together
In Finland the casino's licence decides whether winnings are taxed. Eight of the sixteen casinos in our Finnish list hold Malta or Estonia licences, inside the EEA; the other eight hold Isle of Man, Curaçao, Anjouan or Tobique licences. Two otherwise similar wager-free offers can leave you with different net amounts because of that line. The Finnish casino list shows each brand's licence.

Questions players ask
Is it an offence for me to play at a foreign casino from Finland?
We found no rule that penalises the player; enforcement targets operators and promoters. The law guide explains what is and is not covered.
Which casinos give tax-free winnings?
Under current rules, those licensed in an EEA country: in our list, the Malta and Estonia brands. The tax guide lists them and the July 2027 change.
