Finnish operator Paf will help Meta fight advertising from illegal gambling companies

🔹According to Paf’s development director Jesper Eliasson, the companies agreed to launch a pilot project after a meeting at the SBC Summit in Lisbon. The start of cooperation is scheduled for the week of 5 October.

🔹Paf will provide Meta with information about operators’ licenses and domains and those of affiliates. This should help the platform distinguish legitimate participants in the Swiss market from illegal companies. The project also plans to involve the local regulator.

🔹For Paf the cooperation also has a commercial component, since the company is a partner of a Swiss online casino. Eliasson noted that the operator does not want to compete with businesses that do not spend on licenses and meeting regulatory requirements.

🔹If the pilot project succeeds, Paf wants to apply this model to other European markets. While the gambling industry in the Netherlands is suing Meta over advertising by illegal operators, in Switzerland they decided to try to reach an agreement with the platform.

Фінський оператор Paf допоможе Meta боротися з рекламою нелегальних гемблінг-компаній

🔹За словами директора з розвитку Paf Йеспера Еліассона, компанії домовилися запустити пілотний проєкт після зустрічі на SBC Summit у Лісабоні. Старт співпраці запланований на тиждень із 5 жовтня.

🔹Paf передаватиме Meta інформацію про ліцензії та домени операторів і афіліатів. Це має допомогти платформі розрізняти легальних учасників швейцарського ринку та нелегальні компанії. До проєкту також планують залучити місцевого регулятора.

🔹Для Paf співпраця має і комерційну складову, адже компанія є партнером швейцарського онлайн-казино. Еліассон зазначив, що оператор не хоче конкурувати з бізнесами, які не витрачаються на ліцензії та виконання регуляторних вимог.

🔹У разі успіху пілотного проєкту Paf хоче застосувати таку модель і на інших європейських ринках. Поки в Нідерландах гемблінг-індустрія судиться з Meta через рекламу нелегальних операторів, у Швейцарії вирішили спробувати домовитися з платформою.
