Veikkaus Oy is the Finnish government-owned betting agency which holds a monopoly in the country.

A groundbreaking opening for the discussion on changing the long-term practice was announced this week and published by new gov ernemnt, in which Veikkaus itself proposes to bring all the operators of the gambling industry under the same regulation.

In practice, this would mean moving to the so-called license model. Practically every political party of Finland’s parliament has since expressed support for the license model and the authorities’ work on the subject has also begun.
