Finland Convicts a Streamer of a Gambling Crime for Casino Promos



A rare criminal hit on a gambling influencer

A district court in North Savo, Finland, on June 18 convicted Jouko “Pottukoira” Kärkkäinen, 44, of a gambling offense for marketing casinos other than the state monopoly Veikkaus to Finnish audiences on his website, Instagram and Kick between May 2023 and February 2024. The court imposed 80 day-fines totaling about $2,700 (€2,480), plus a roughly $90 surcharge.

Kärkkäinen denied wrongdoing, arguing his streams were entertainment rather than commercial marketing, were not aimed at Finland, and that he did not control the website carrying the casino links. The court rejected that, pointing to repeated Finnish-language promotions – such as “150 free spins for just €10” – posted beside links to his site, and held that a gambling-marketing conviction does not require proof the promoter was paid or benefited; his purpose to promote the operators was enough.

The case is unusual mainly for its visibility. Finnish influencers have promoted offshore casinos for years, but enforcement has run through administrative channels – including a roughly $27,000 conditional fine the National Police Board imposed on Kärkkäinen in 2024, upheld on appeal, after which he relocated to Estonia to keep working with foreign operators.

The Veikkaus monopoly is being dismantled, with licensing opened in March 2026 and the regulated market going live on July 1, 2027. Nevertheless, marketing non-Veikkaus operators stays illegal until then. The verdict is not final, and Kärkkäinen could appeal by July 20, though he has indicated he will not do so, laughing off the penalty.

The conviction fits a wider European tightening on gambling – and the tension that comes with it. In the Netherlands, an advertising ban has driven the licensed market’s share

3 Ways To Potentially Avoid Illinois' 0.2% Crypto Transfer Tax



If you are an Illinois resident and hold crypto in a centralized exchange, a new cost is coming that most investors have not heard about yet. Starting January 1, 2027, Illinois will impose a 0.2% tax on crypto asset transfers under a law that has already been signed. Unlike federal capital gains taxes, this one hits you every time you move & withdraw crypto, not just when you sell.

What Illinois' 0.2% Crypto Transfer Tax Actually Does

The new law imposes a 0.2% tax on transfers of crypto assets made by Illinois residents via centralized exchanges. The tax is collected by the exchange or platform facilitating the transfer, much like how a broker withholds taxes at the source. This is not a tax on gains. It is a tax on the act of moving crypto, which means it can apply even if you are simply shifting funds between your own wallets or accounts in the same exchange or withdrawing funds out of an exchange. That design is what makes it unusual and, for active traders or frequent movers, potentially expensive. The tax goes into effect on January 1, 2027.

Moving to Self-Custody Can Shield You From the 0.2% Crypto Transfer Tax

One of the most straightforward ways to avoid the tax is to move your crypto off an exchange and into a self-custody wallet before the law takes effect. A self-custody wallet is one where you hold the private keys yourself, meaning no exchange or platform is in the middle of your transactions to collect the tax. Because the 0.2% tax is collected by the platform facilitating the transfer, removing yourself from those platforms removes you from the collection mechanism.

That said, self-custody is not for everyone. You become solely responsible for securing your private keys. If you lose them, your crypto is gone with no recovery option. There
