At Gamban, we’re always working to make the decision to quit gambling as easy as possible. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Gamban is now available in Finnish!
With gambling harming thousands of individuals in Finland, we recognise the importance of providing tools that are easy to access and use in a person’s native language. By adding Finnish, we’re ensuring that more people can take control of their gambling habits without language barriers standing in the way.
Why We Chose Finnish
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 introducing Finnish, we're ensuring that individuals seeking help can access Gamban without language being a barrier.
"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
Gamban Partnerships
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.” - Susanna Saikkonen, VP Sustainability at Veikkaus
Expanding Our Reach
Gambling harm is a challenge that knows no borders, and our mission is to support as many people as possible. By expanding Gamban to include Finnish, we're reaching more individuals across Europe and beyond. Now available in seven languages: English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, and Norwegian.
Gamban is more accessible than ever, ensuring that support reaches those who need it, wherever they are.
