Betsson’s BML Group added to Finnish police gambling payment blacklist

The payments blacklist of the Finnish National Police Board, which lists gambling businesses to which payments are prohibited, has been updated. The list only includes Betsson's BML Group.

In 2022, the blacklist was established in accordance with Finland's lottery law. Similar to payment blocking in other nations, like Germany, the goal is to restrict access to gambling products that are not authorized. Transactions between blacklisted businesses and Finnish banks, payment processors, and players are prohibited.

I believe this action suggests regulatory concerns regarding the group's compliance with Finnish gambling laws, potentially affecting its operations and financial transactions within Finland's gambling market. The move underscores ongoing efforts by authorities to regulate online gambling and ensure that operators adhere to legal standards.
