It all started over 10 years ago, though, in truth, the first sparks of Winlandia go back even further. I got into the affiliate business around 2007. Back then, I was barely 20, with no money, no connections, no formal skills. What I had was curiosity and frustration. There were no proper Finnish-language casino sites online poker content was everywhere, but casino players? We were left in the dark.

If you receive payments from well-known online gambling operators, banking becomes even more complicated. Banks often struggle to understand online business models, and if your clients are primarily in the online gambling sector, your company may be categorized as high-risk — even if you’re only running a straightforward online marketing business.
