Gamban Begins Providing Gambling Support Services in Finnish

Gamban has started providing services in Finnish language.

Gambling is deeply embedded in Finnish culture, and while there are efforts to curb the harms arising from it, many still struggle to find practical tools. By adding Finnish, Gamban is ensuring that more people can take control of their gambling habits without language barriers standing in the way.

“Language should never be a barrier to accessing help. By introducing Finnish to Gamban, we’re ensuring that more people in Finland can access the tools they need. We hope this update makes the process of blocking gambling on devices more intuitive and effective,” Jack Symons, CEO of Gamban, said.

In Finland, Gamban is partnered with Veikkaus, the government owned betting agency which currently holds a monopoly in the country. Through this partnership fully paid for Gamban licences are distributed free of charge to customers.

“Veikkaus has built a comprehensive and unique safer gambling environment for our customers, and Gamban is an additional service to those who want to make a self-exclusion to all Veikkaus games. It’s also offered to customers with signs of risky behaviour when they are contacted through care calls. Gamban has been a really helpful service, and we are happy that it’s now available in Finnish,” said Susanna Saikkonen, VP Sustainability at Veikkaus.
