Project Details
Description (abstract)
In the beginning of 2017, Finland merged its three monopoly-based gambling companies into a single company. This merger was partly the result of a need to comply with the European Court of Justice Decision concerning the acceptability of a gambling monopoly despite the European free market. Following advances in gambling technology related to Internet gambling and machine design there was a need to prevent inter-monopoly competition in the gambling provision (Ministry of the Interior 2016). The merger was also justified publicly in terms of better mitigation of social and health-related gambling harms.
