Ålands Penningautomatförening (commonly abbreviated Paf) is a government-owned gambling operator in the autonomous Finnish region of Åland[1]. Established in 1966, it has legal authority under Åland’s gambling framework to provide gambling on the islands, online, and on passenger vessels operating from the region.
Paf’s operations include online gambling, gambling on board passenger ships in the Baltic Sea and surrounding Nordic sea routes, and land-based gaming such as slot machines on Åland.
Paf’s proceeds are collected and redistributed through the Åland Government as grants and other funding to public-benefit and third-sector activities; its annual reports also publish the yearly amount distributed (for example, €21.5 million reported for 2024).
