Veikkaus, Finland’s national gaming operator, recently announced the introduction of strict player verification procedures. The new measures are designed to ensure that customers are of legal age to gamble and that they are not at risk of developing gambling addiction.

The new procedures involve verifying the identity of players before they can access any of Veikkaus’ online services. This includes requiring customers to provide a valid Finnish personal identity number, as well as a valid Finnish address. Customers will also be required to provide proof of their age, which must be verified by a third-party service.

In addition to the new verification procedures, Veikkaus has also implemented a number of other measures to protect players from gambling addiction. These include introducing a maximum deposit limit of €100 per day, as well as a maximum monthly loss limit of €500. Players will also be able to set their own personal deposit and loss limits.

The new measures are part of Veikkaus’ commitment to responsible gaming and are designed to ensure that players are protected from the risks associated with gambling. The operator is also working with the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health to develop an awareness campaign about responsible gaming.

Veikkaus’ new player verification procedures are an important step in ensuring that customers are protected from gambling addiction and that they are of legal age to gamble. The operator is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for its customers and these new measures will help to ensure that this is the case.
