Our verdict on each
paf
Paf suits Nordic and Finnish players who want a low-stakes, quick cash out casino and sportsbook run by a long-standing public operator. The €10 minimum deposit and a 0 wagering requirement on the welcome offer keep costs low, and withdrawals are real time to a bank account.
partypoker
PartyPoker covers poker, bingo and lottery in one account, holds GB and Gibraltar licences, and takes deposits from €1 with Aircash Pay, Google Pay and Apple Pay on file. It suits players who want one lobby across three products and a low entry point; bonus terms are not its strength.

Pros and cons

- Low entry point of €10 against a site median of €8.77
Cons
- Identity checks are required (required), so sign-up involves documentation before a first withdrawal
- The licence is held by a single provincial authority in the Aland Islands (Aland Islands provincial government (Landstinget)), not by a multi-jurisdiction regulator
- Sports betting runs as a bookmaker model (bookmaker) rather than an exchange, so no peer-to-peer markets

- Regulated in GB by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, with licence numbers 54743 and RGL 010
Cons
