In their own words

“Veikkaus Oy on valtion omistama (100 %) osakeyhtiö, jolla on arpajaislain mukaan yksinoikeus rahapelien toimeenpanemiseen Suomessa. Pelitoimintaa valvoo sisäasiainministeriön alainen Poliisihallitus. Suomalainen rahapelijärjestelmä perustuu vastuuajatteluun ja sen tavoitteena on minimoida pelaamisesta mahdollisesti aiheutuvat haitat. Koko yhtiön tuotto tuloutetaan Suomen valtiolle.”
