About

As revenues shrink and costs rise for Star and Crown, let’s not forget that a regulatory backlash was always coming, given the poor governance and behaviours of the casinos for more than a decade. Consumers would be able to impose self-exclusion across all licensed providers and set financial limits on gambling. Gaming operators would be required to implement safeguards to detect and respond to misuse or abuse of betting services. Veikkaus would retain its monopoly on lottery draws, scratch cards, and physical slot machines and casinos. All gambling services would remain restricted to adults, with mandatory identity verification applied across the sector.
