About Paf

Paf is the gambling company every Finn meets on the Baltic: founded on Åland in 1966 by local charities, famous from the Finland-Sweden ferries, and run under the authority of the Government of Åland with every euro of profit going to good causes.

Its structure is unique in this catalog — not a state plc, not a family firm, but a charity-founded association under Åland public oversight. Paf pioneered responsible-gambling economics, becoming the first operator worldwide to set an annual loss limit (€25,000) for its players.

Beyond the home licence from Åland's Lotteriinspektionen, Paf operates under national licences in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Spain, and plans to seek a Finnish licence when the mainland market opens in 2027. There is nothing to invest in: the association has no shares, by design.
