Rahapeliala Ry
Erottajankatu 19, 5 krs, 00130 Helsinki, Finland
Rahapeliala Ry (The Finnish Trade Association for Online Gambling) is a non‑profit industry association founded in late 2022 by seven leading international online gambling operators: Betsson, ComeOn Group, Entain, Flutter, Kindred Group, LeoVegas, and William Hill. Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, the association advocates for the introduction of a regulated, licence‑based system for online gambling in Finland, replacing the current state‑run monopoly held by Veikkaus Oy. Its core mission is to promote responsible and sustainable regulation that ensures high consumer protection, brings foreign operators under Finnish law, secures tax revenue for the state, and reduces gambling‑related harm. The association actively participates in public debate, issues policy statements, and engages with lawmakers and regulators. Its CEO, Mika Kuismanen, is the primary spokesperson, frequently appearing in Finnish media to comment on gambling legislation and market reforms. The association does not operate its own gambling platforms; instead, it represents the collective interests of its member companies, which collectively reported a combined gross gaming revenue of approximately €25 billion at the time of founding. Rahapeliala Ry plays a pivotal role in shaping Finland’s transition from a monopoly to an open licensing model, which is scheduled to take effect in 2027.
