TITLE: Finland's Ministry of The Interior Establishes Payout Ratios and Operational Rules for Exclusive Gaming Licence Holder BODY: On the date of this draft decree, Finland's Ministry of The Interior published a proposed Government Decree establishing payout ratios and operational parameters for the exclusive gaming licence holder under the Gambling Act (10/2026). The decree sets mandatory player payout percentages across multiple gaming categories, calculated on calendar-year basis from total player stakes. Gaming machine and casino game payouts must range from 70 to 99.9 percent of total turnover. Lottery games drawn once or multiple times daily require 50 to 70 percent payouts, while electronically conducted lottery games require 55 to 80 percent. Multi-national lottery games with shared prize pools average 50 percent of multi-national turnover. Other lottery games require 40 to 55 percent payouts. Traditional lotteries require 40 to 60 percent, instant lotteries require 45 to 70 percent, and electronic instant lotteries require 50 to 90 percent. The decree establishes operational limits: gaming points may operate maximum 10,000 gaming machines; gaming halls may operate maximum 2,000 gaming machines and 100 casino games, with a maximum of 60 gaming halls permitted nationally; and one casino may operate in Helsinki with maximum 400 gaming machines and 60 casino games. The casino must operate between 12:00 and 04:00 daily. Gaming machines in points and halls face combined daily loss limits of €500, monthly limits of €2,000, and annual limits of €24,000. The decree addresses payout adjustments, rounding procedures, unclaimed winnings, and multi-national prize pool management. Unpaid amounts from rounding and adjustments transfer to gaming operation funds for redistribution across games. Unclaimed winnings transfer similarly, with specific thresholds for multi-national games directing amounts to international prize pools. The decree enters into force on July 1, 2027.
