Finnish Payment Blocking Plan Could Put Paf In Crosshairs

• Finland seeks change to protect monopoly Veikkaus
• Paf's benefit to good causes similar to Veikkaus'
• Government lifts monthly coronavirus-linked loss limits

Finland's government has promised to enable payment blocking to protect gambling monopoly Veikkaus in next year's planned reform of gambling legislation, which puts online operator Paf in a tricky situation.

If the Finnish government moves to protect Veikkaus, will it block Paf, which raises €21m annually for non-profit causes for the Åland Islands, a Swedish-speaking largely autonomous region of Finland?
