VladTV sits down with Finnish entrepreneur and high-stakes poker player Ossi Ketola, aka Monarch, for an unfiltered look at his rise from small-town Finland to the center of online gaming, crypto casinos and million-dollar poker duels. Ketola explains how RuneScape’s Duel Arena introduced him to digital economies as a teen, how Big Boy Bets collapsed after a partner dispute, and how Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skins led to a major gambling business amid Valve crackdowns and offshore regulation in Curaçao.

He also breaks down the launch of Duel, its zero-house-edge model, $2 billion monthly volume claims, and competition with crypto casino giant Stake. The conversation covers Bitcoin crashes, taxes, Tesla investments, Dubai, Finnish politics, Drake-style gambling promos, Triton Poker, Jungleman, and Ketola’s reported billionaire status.
