Veikkaus plans up to 31 job cuts ahead of Finland’s 2027 gambling reform
Veikkaus expects to cut up to 31 jobs while creating 22 to 28 new roles as it restructures ahead of Finland’s planned multi-licence gambling system in 2027. The company said formal negotiations involving around 20 to 30 employees would continue for at least three weeks. Separately, the National Police Board is reviewing whether Veikkaus advertising breached the Lottery Act; Veikkaus says it complied with the law, while the board denies receiving prior consultation requests.
The restructuring and advertising review affect Veikkaus’ preparations for competition and its compliance position.
