When the iGaming monopoly ends, a licensing model is presented. Finland chose another way. Until recently, Veikkaus was the only state-controlled monopoly operator. The newly formed government has decided to transition to a licensing model “no later than 2026.” The plan, though, isn't the typical one, as the state wants to divide Veikkaus into separate companies within the same group. Usually, when a monopoly is no longer favored in a country, private operators can apply for licenses. I think it might be a gradual white market introduction for Finland. Maybe something similar to the UK licensing system. What do you expect from Finnish monopoly reforms? #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames

Playtech has announced the launch of Live Casino under its agreement with Veikkaus, the Finnish state-owned and monopoly operator. Building upon their successful existing relationship, which encompasses online casino, online poker, retail VLT machines, and a casino management system, Playtech was selected as Veikkaus’ first Live casino supplier, following a rigorous public procurement process. Playtech and Veikkaus have now completed the integration and regulatory approval process of Playtech’s Live games, and following a successful launch, a first range of games are now available to Veikkaus’ players – with many more to be launched in the following months. https://lnkd.in/edQv832u

Sweden and Norway are reconsidering their stance on cashless payments, and betting operators should to take note ✍ Sweden look set to follow Norway by imposing penalties on merchants that refuse to accept cash. With the amount of people in both countries (and countries around the world) that have limited access to electronic services, this idea, to me, is a good one. There's something about the tactility of cash, and the feeling of physically placing a bet — and physically collecting winnings — that I don’t think will ever be usurped by digital options, for all their convenience. I’d wager that legislation to protect that right won’t be contained to Sweden and Norway. That’s why adaptability and versatility are essential for betting operators. You don’t want to find yourself unable to serve the growing population of cash users because you fully committed to an all-digital future. Nor do you want to be left scrambling if a change in legislation suddenly renders a significant portion of your equipment obsolete. Here’s the part where I shamelessly plug our highly-modular, extensively-customisable self service kiosks. We can fit them with a broad suite of payment options, to ensure you’ll be ready to face whatever the market — or changing legislation — throws at you. In the ever-shifting market, resilience and innovation go hand-in-hand. KT Group can help with both. #KTGroup #SportsBetting #CashlessSociety #KioskSolutions

Good to see there is the assemblance of a plan to get to market regulation over the next couple of years in Finland and interesting to read the potential that Veikkaus might put potential assets up for sale during the process.
