Legalization and regulation of gambling in Finland
In this country, there is a complete state monopoly on the organization of any gambling, including online. The market has been regulated by the Law on Lotteries since 2012, and back in 1940, the state company Veikkaus Oy was established in the country. All online and land-based gaming establishments were concentrated under its roof.
A distinctive feature of the Finnish gaming market is the strict regulation and protection of players. The profits from the games go to the development of education, culture and art, social and health care, and the protection of forests.
