Kimi Räikkönen and Paf will begin Partnership
Paf, the Åland-based gaming company and pioneer in responsible gaming, has signed a multi-year partnership with Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen.
The agreement is conditional upon Paf obtaining a license in Finland and will take effect once Finland’s gambling market is opened to competition and the current system transitions to a licensing model. At present, the authorities goal is to implement the licensing system at the beginning of 2027.
Thomas Näsman, Manager, Paf: “We’re proud to welcome Kimi to the Paf team. He’s a true Finnish icon, and we value his honesty and no-nonsense approach, qualities that align perfectly with our brand. At Paf, we have bold ambitions to be the most responsible gaming company in the world while continuing to generate funds for the public good. As Finland moves into a licensed market, we’re excited to have Kimi with us on this journey.”
Kimi Räikkönen said: ”To be honest, we were contacted by a few gaming companies that did not arouse our interest, but Paf’s contact did. Paf’s history, openness, responsibility and Finnishness were the most important factors for me, not forgetting the directness, determination and fast working method of the people with whom the agreement was quickly concluded. As new opportunities are opening up for Paf in mainland Finland as well, I hope that our cooperation will be beneficial for Paf.”
Paf – For the benefit of society, Since 1966
Founded by charities in 1966 on the Åland Islands, Paf was built with a clear mission: to generate funds for the benefit of society. Today, Paf continues to lead by example, combining world-class gaming experiences with a bold commitment to social responsibility and transparency. As pioneers in responsible gaming, Paf were the first international gaming company to set annual loss limits for all players in 2018 — We believe great entertainment should be delivered responsibly and sustainably.
Paf stands for no-nonsense honesty, doing what’s right, and setting the standard in everything we do. We’re not here to follow the industry — we’re here to change it.
