Rahapelimarkkinan avautuminen
Suomen rahapelimarkkinan odotetaan siirtyvän lisenssimalliin vuonna 2027, mikä tuo merkittävän piristysruiskeen mainosmarkkinaan. Nykyisen suunnitelman mukaan mainonta sallitaan suurimmassa osassa kategorioita, joissa olemme läsnä. Oletamme ensimmäisten vuosien olevan huippuvuosia, kun mainostajat investoivat brändien ja markkina-asemien rakentamiseen ennen markkinan tasaantumista kohti vuotta 2030 – kuten muilla markkinoilla on nähty. Meillä on vahva asema hyödyntää kasvumahdollisuus vastuullisesti.
