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.

After launching Bet It Drives with Alex Pratt’s high-octane debut, GR8 Tech’s drive-time podcast shifts gears for Episode 2 with Helen Walton, Founder & Chief Commercial Officer of G.Games—a creative force who went from global cosmetics to multiplayer slots without touching the brakes.

Walton’s career spans global beauty brands at Unilever, creative agencies, restaurants, music labels—and now, a 200-title iGaming studio built from scratch with a flat, inclusive team of 80. Known for thriving on “the steep part of the learning curve,” Helen talks candidly with host Yevhen Krazhan about the mindset, risks, and sharp turns that got her here.

In the passenger seat through London’s streets, Helen reveals:

  • How she swapped runways and beauty counters for reels and RNGs.
  • The principles that helped her thrive in an unfamiliar industry.
  • The soundtrack she’d choose for her career journey.
  • The most brutal feedback she’s ever had from a customer — and why it mattered.
  • iGaming buzzwords she’d ban without hesitation.
  • When she’s happy to “network” … and when she’ll firmly “not work.”
  • The best parts of her job and why they’re worth more than a paycheck.

“Helen’s story shows us that being brave and smart can lead to big rewards,” said Yevhen Krazhan, Chief Sales Officer at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives.

With its award-winning production team, Bet It Drives trades stiff studio setups for a moving car, rolling cameras, and unscripted conversation.
