The Finnish Lotteries Act (1047/2001) lays down the main provisions on the Relevant Products and on the existing monopoly system granting the exclusive right to provide gambling services in Finland to the wholly state-owned operator Veikkaus Oy (“Veikkaus”). The Finnish Lotteries Act defines lottery as an activity in which participants may win a prize of monetary value based on chance and in which there is a charge for participation. Gambling is defined as a lottery in which participants may win money prizes.

No gambling licences are available in Finland yet. According to the Finnish Lotteries Act, Veikkaus, a state-owned private limited liability company, currently has the exclusive right to provide gambling services in mainland Finland. Gambling services falling under the exclusive right of Veikkaus cover both land-based and online gambling operations.

In October 2023, Finland officially initiated a legislative reform project to replace its current gambling monopoly system with a partial licensing system. The first draft law, which offers an initial view of the future licensing framework, was published in July 2024. According to the draft, the B2C licensing application process will begin in 2026, with licensees granted permission to operate in the Finnish market at the beginning of 2027. B2B licensing will commence in 2027, and starting at the beginning of 2028, licensed B2C operators will be required to use only licensed B2B providers. In terms of products, fixed-odds betting, pari-mutuel betting, online casino games, online e-bingo and online slots will transition to the licensing system, while all other products will remain under Veikkaus’ exclusive rights.

Specifically, gambling advertisements are forbidden on television, radio, in cinemas, and in publications aimed at or appealing to minors or young people. As the only operator allowed to market gambling under the Act, these provisions apply solely to Veikkaus, while private operators are prohibited from any gambling marketing.

However, a detailed review of the bill's commentary clarifies that this restriction applies only to private operators, not Veikkaus. Therefore, Veikkaus remains eligible for licenses, whether as the exclusive operator for on-site gambling or as a non-exclusive operator for online gambling.
