In this VladTV conversation, Finnish entrepreneur Ossi Ketola — also known as “Monarch” — looks back on growing up in a small town in Finland, learning chess from his father, and discovering RuneScape as a kid. Ketola explains how the game’s reopened economy and Duel Arena helped him turn in-game wealth into real money through third-party marketplaces, at times earning around $10,000 a month at just 13 years old.
He also discusses the risks behind early online gambling, selling virtual currency, paying taxes after pressure from his parents, and losing money on poker sites like PokerStars, PartyPoker, and Full Tilt Poker before later becoming known in high-stakes poker. The interview also touches on his path from gaming to building a CS:GO empire and launching Duel.com.
