German Gambling Authority Enforces First Advertising Ban Under New Gambling Regulations
The German Gambling Authority (GGL) has implemented the first advertising prohibition under the Glücksspielneuregulierungstaatsvertrag (GlüNeuRStV), which became effective on July 1, 2023. The ban was applied to an advertisement for an online slot machine provider operating without authorization in Germany. This step marks an important enforcement action in the newly regulated gambling landscape of Germany. The GGL highlighted that the prohibited advertisement originated from an operator without a valid German license, rendering the ad illegal under current regulations. This move signals the authority’s commitment to rigorously enforcing the law to protect consumers from unauthorized gambling offerings. Since the GlüNeuRStV came into effect, the regulator has prioritized the monitoring of advertising practices to strengthen consumer protection and ensure compliance within the gambling sector. The GGL warns operators that violations will be met with strict measures going forward. This development is significant for the German gambling market as the newly implemented regulatory regime aims to create a safer and more transparent environment for players while combating illegal gambling activities.

Finland Plans to End Veikkaus Monopoly, Introduce Licensed Gambling Market by 2025
The Finnish government has announced intentions to reform the national gambling system by shifting from the current monopoly model, held exclusively by Veikkaus, to a licensing framework that enables multiple operators to enter the market. This move is designed to mitigate gambling-related harm and bring more transparency to how gambling revenues are allocated across civil society and public funding. The proposed changes seek to replace Veikkaus’s sole control over gambling by permitting licensed competition, which the government believes will foster a healthier gambling environment and improve oversight of financial flows. The legislation outlining these reforms is expected to be introduced in autumn 2023. If approved, the new licensed gambling market is planned to be operational by 2025, marking a significant restructuring of Finland’s gambling industry. The government’s approach reflects a growing international trend toward regulating gambling through licensing schemes rather than state monopolies, aiming to balance market openness with social responsibility.
