Veikkaus Oy started its operations at the beginning of 2017, as the Finnish gaming system was reformed and the previous three operators Fintoto, Finland’s Slot Machine Association (RAY), and Veikkaus merged into a single gaming company owned by the Finnish State.


When we audited the sponsorship activities of the old Veikkaus, the purpose was to ensure that the company does not decide how to distribute profits based on sponsorship and that there is always a justified financial reason for any sponsoring activities. The Ministry of Education and Culture decides on the distribution of Veikkaus’ profits.

Suspicious business activity means a transaction that deviates from the customer's usual activity or is atypical for the activity. Therefore, what is atypical depends on the customer or the situation. If you detect an unusual transaction, find out the reason for the transaction. If the transaction appears suspicious even after the clarification received, or if you do not receive any clarification, report the incident immediately to the Money Laundering Clearing House of Finland. As an agent, you can also submit a report through Veikkaus Oy.

In the 1990s, Veikkaus expanded its operations from the national lottery and football pools to new betting games. As a result, the company aimed for a better visibility in sports through sponsorship agreements, among other things. However, at the same time, many these sponsored events also received a share of Veikkaus’ proceeds allocated by the former Ministry of Education.

The audits performed nearly two decades ago examined the sponsorship activities of Veikkaus and the crediting of the Slot Machine Association’s proceeds. As the task was to audit the appropriateness of the operations, the scope of the audits exceeded that of a regular financial audit.

In its audit conducted in 2001, the NAOF could not give any strong opinions about the overall targeting of sponsorship activities. It also proved impossible to estimate the amount of sponsorship, as at the same time Veikkaus also purchased marketing visibility from the sponsored events, and it was not always straightforward to separate between the two activities.

Traditionally, all gambling games in Finland have been categorically grouped under the Veikkaus monopoly and are regulated by the (1047/2001). The Lotteries Act states the any activity in which participation is paid for and where the participant can win money in whole or in part based by a chance is part of a lottery and is therefore it must be organized by Veikkaus. The interpretation of lotteries has been broad and led to surprising situations (for example, a so-called fantasy league built around the Finnish national hockey league was also determined by the Supreme Administrative Court as a lottery).

The solutions implemented will significantly improve the energy efficiency of the property. Veikkaus has signed a general agreement with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, the Confederation of Finnish Industries and various trade unions to increase energy efficiency.

So far the NAOF has not conducted a single audit on the new Veikkaus

The gross gaming revenue from Veikkaus’ most popular game Lotto, EUR 74.2 million fell by 14.8% in the period from January to June as compared with the respective period last year. The fall was due to smaller jackpots than during the respective period last year and, e.g., the changes in consumer behaviour associated with general insecurity. Eurojackpot’s gross gaming revenue EUR 64.7 million remained at the same level as in the respective period in 2021 (0.0%). The ten-year-old Eurojackpot was overhauled in March 2022, with a new Tuesday Draw introduced besides the previous Friday Draw, and the maximum jackpot was raised to EUR 120 million. The gross gaming revenue was affected most by the introduction of the additional draw and the changes in consumer behaviour.

So what about Veikkaus and the pending residence permit?

In its conclusions and recommendations, the NAOF stated that since sponsorship as a whole is a quite complex issue, Veikkaus should base its sponsoring activities on clearly defined principles and should also be able to demonstrate the financial benefits of sponsorship. For example, the NAOF did not consider sponsoring the arts justified, as this was not considered to promote sports betting.

From designs point of view, this naturally meant combining not only the styles but also user experience and working culture. Veikkaus had a style guide that was mainly used by developers, it did not guide design or content creation. But there was a problem: It lacked a person responsible for it, and so it had developed organically. Every time there had been a need for a new component, it was added to the style guide without any review. So in the end, the style guide was a massive library but lacked a vision of good user experience. And it was used by over 40 developers.

– The obligatory loss limits that were introduced to slot machines in 2021 have led to a decrease in the volume of slots gambling. Further, the coronavirus epidemic affected players’ consumer behaviour, e.g., so that people frequent shopping centres less often, which leads to reduced customer numbers especially at the game arcades, says Ms Regina Sippel, Veikkaus’ CFO.
