Another European country is entering the online gambling industry. A Finnish association and the state lottery are now allowed to offer gambling online services. Finland will join other countries that have already taken this step. The two companies are part of a larger one that is monopolized by the state.

The new legislation has given permission to start online operation from March 1st, although one of the companies chose to delay this action until August. Even if this law was issued, foreign gambling companies seem undecided to do operation in Finland. This is caused by the monopoly held by the state. Although there were some protests against it, this monopoly does not seem to come in contradiction with European Union laws.

Sources say that Finland is very keen on its monopoly and this move was due only to allow the two companies to compete with the foreign ones. This year, it is expected that many more countries will take action into this matter, seeing how successful this business is in Great Britain. During the next weeks, Sweden may follow this trend.
