About Veikkaus

Veikkaus is Finland's gambling institution: founded in 1940 as the national football-pools company and, in its current form since 2017 (the merger of Veikkaus, RAY and Fintoto), the operator of every legal Finnish gambling vertical — lotto, slots, betting and the only legal online casino, the Nettikasino and Livekasino sections of veikkaus.fi.

The company is wholly owned by the Finnish state, with the Prime Minister's Office steering ownership; profits flow to the state budget after decades of funding Finnish culture, sport and science directly.

The page-defining fact is dated: Veikkaus's exclusive right over betting and online casino runs until 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027 Finland moves to a licensing market — Veikkaus keeps exclusivity only over lotteries, scratch games and land-based slots, and its competitive arm will fight for the open market alongside foreign licensees.

Who owns Veikkaus?

Can I invest in Veikkaus?

Today yes: its exclusive right covers online casino until 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027, Finland licenses competing operators for betting and online casino.
