An affiliate team opens the Finnish Gambling Act (Rahapelilaki 10/2026), searches for "affiliate", finds nothing, and reports that the ban does not exist. The search worked. The conclusion is wrong. I have seen founders spend six figures on legal opinions to justify a technicality, only to get hit with an enforcement decision because they misread t...

Paid Search Is Permitted in Finland. Your Keyword List Probably Isn't. First in a series of six on marketing under the Finnish gambling licence. OnlyiGaming, Industry Voices. By Gloria Kesa, FinEst Verba. Most Finnish entry plans I have read this year make the same structural mistake, and it is not a mistake about any single rule. It is a mistake a...

So, here we are: there’s only one week left until the grand show opening . The stand space was signed off long ago, the booth project is approved and submitted, the final changes were done, the social media announcement went live, and the happy team of delegates is already packing their suitcases to enjoy a few warm days under the gentle Portuguese...

Gambling has been ubiquitous among humans for thousands of years at least, and has even been observed among birds and monkeys. In this article, we will not explore all of its known history, but rather focus on one modern, incredibly successful branch of its evolution - the slot machine.

By the end of the 1850s, the situation was very different. The idea that going to California and buying a pan was basically a license to print money had spread everywhere. Eve...

Monday, 9:00 AM. I open Adform, Google Analytics, PowerBI, Spreadsheets, a Tracker, my suppliers' dedicated dashboards, and backoffice. And I start checking manually. How is programmatic doing? How do the markets and brands look? Any red flags? Does the marketing data match what's happening in backoffice? Do we have a "tracking issue" again? On top...

Every few weeks, I hear someone say that there is no talent available. Usually, the role has been published on LinkedIn or another job board for several weeks, the applications have not been relevant, and the conclusion is that the market does not have the people they need. But a job board failing to produce the right candidate does not mean the ta...

Taras Stepovyi, Product Owner at ENJOY Gaming, argues that traditional slots continue to thrive when clarity and purpose take priority over complexity. Classic-style slots remain among the strongest performers across markets, and I read that as a signal of what players actually want: familiarity, understandability, reliability. Players recognise th...

In 2015, the entire soundtrack of a slot game had to survive a decision that had nothing to do with music: how long a player on a bad mobile connection would wait before closing the tab. That was the real brief. The reel spins, the stops, the anticipation, the fanfare, the loop that had to sit under a fifteen-minute session without becoming a heada...

One of the most underrated assets in iGaming right now is simply having been active in the iGaming space long enough. And it is becoming more valuable, not less. That might sound strange in 2026.
