.Finland blacklists Betsson to demonstrate its ability to restrict payments.

Finland's National Police Board has blacklisted Betsson's BML Group subsidiary, banning payments from Finnish players to its brands.

This is the first time an operator has been blacklisted in the country, following a court case where BML Group was fined €2.4m for targeting Finnish players illegally.

Finland aims to curb the black market by toughening payment blocks for unlicensed gambling.
