Veikkaus Pitkaveto
Veikkaus Pitkaveto is a long-standing and constantly evolving online betting site. With seventy years of experience in the Finnish sports market, the bookmaker is becoming well known not only locally but also internationally. In addition, it has a gaming monopoly and is now one of the top providers in Finland. This reputation stems from the company’s active participation in some of the major sporting events such as the Champions League. The site is also distinguished by its membership in European betting markets and in other countries around the world. At present, the site hosts more than two million subscribers, making the platform the largest online shop in Finland.
Operating License
As Veikkaus Pitkaveto is a state-owned company, the site operates under a national license issued by the Government of Finland. In addition, it follows the regulations imposed by the Ministry of Finance. It has also been accredited by the Gaming Regulatory Authority.
For optimal security of all data stored on the platform, Veikkaus Pitkaveto has integrated the SSL encryption system to detect any fraud. The implementation of an authentication protocol further strengthens the filtering of non-regulated customers. These elements are a real strength of the bookmaker and automatically generate an influx of customers. As far as gamblers who are subject to addiction are concerned, the establishment is fully committed to offering them its support.
Website and mobile application
The Veikkaus Pitkaveto website has an intuitive and very fluid interface. The layout is well structured, with perfectly organized control buttons. For ease of use, all the sections have been divided into separate sections. In the sportsbook, you will mainly find the areas dedicated to betting, results and statistics. On the other hand, casino fans will have no trouble finding the functions related to this option.
For Finnish mobile punters, the operator has developed a native application, compatible with both Android and iOS operating systems. The program provides them with several advantages, once installed on a smartphone or tablet. Among others, the customer will have the opportunity to play and place bets, benefit from special offers, perform financial transactions, have an overview of live events and consult the betting history. All of this conveys excellent data flow, while offering a more immersive betting experience. In contrast, the mobile version of the site replicates exactly the features of the desktop. Here again, punters will have access to all of the bookmaker’s features and services.
Users’ registration
A registration procedure within Veikkaus Pitkaveto takes only a few minutes, but is only valid for persons over 18 years of age. The first step invites the new subscriber to go to the official website and refer to the steps required by the operator. In principle, he/she should start by entering his/her personal information such as name, address, phone number and e-mail, followed by the username and a secure password. The account will only be activated after the profile has been verified and validated. This requires a copy of one of their identity documents and other supporting documents.
Bonuses and promotions
Like any other online gaming site, Veikkaus Pitkaveto welcomes new registrants with a welcome bonus. This would be an offer of 20% of their first bet up to €50, in the form of cashback. Other promotions include the loyalty bonus, exclusive bonuses on sporting events, seasonal free bets and various gifts and discounts. At the moment, the Euro Jackpot is attracting a lot of punters for its huge prize pool. In any case, you should be sure to check whether these offers come with wagering requirements.
The betting and gambling market
Veikkaus Pitkaveto has made it easy for players by offering two different directories in the sports section. The first area contains all the details about horse and greyhound racing. The second area contains a full range of national and international sports. Events range from the more popular football, tennis, ice hockey and basketball to the rarer badminton and water polo, and niche sports including volleyball, rugby, cycling and baseball. Regardless of the category selected by the player, there are various betting options available to increase the odds of winning: singles, doubles, combos, multiples, systems, to name a few. It should not be forgotten that this list also offers bets on politics, game shows, entertainment and e-sports. Live betting fans will enjoy a wider variety of events, with constantly updated odds based on the results. On this page, players can simultaneously follow the broadcast of the matches and manage their bets. Despite the lack of a live streaming function, they will have a preview of the matches on the Veikkaus TV channel.
As a leading gambling provider, Veikkaus Pitkaveto boasts a wide range of gambling activities, including exclusive tournaments. Apart from the lottery games contained in the specified section and the video games, the casino provides customers with a page with a wide selection of slot machines with numerous titles, as well as a live casino service represented by blackjack, roulette and poker variants. The whole thing is set in a more realistic setting, with real dealers present. If you want to discover the entire game library, please take a look at each of the sections displayed on the top bar. Their contents are more than enough to prove the extreme diversity of the games and to give full satisfaction to the fans, despite the lack of information.
Payment methods
Veikkaus Pitkaveto allows its active members to carry out their financial transactions via various different methods. According to a survey, bank cards such as Visa, MasterCard, e-wallets and bank transfers are still the most commonly used methods on the platform. Some sources claim the existence of alternative options, including prepaid cards, coupons and cheques, although the details remain rather vague. Given this low proportion, it is hoped that a much clearer and more precise list will soon be available.
Customer support
Veikkaus Pitkaveto offers a number of channels to get customers out of trouble. Apart from a discussion platform, an FAQ section and various tutorials, communication can take place via live chat, telephone line, e-mail and social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Postal mail is another option for receiving user queries. The estimated response time varies from a few seconds to a few days, depending on the means of contact chosen by the user.
