The company channeled its development investments particularly into its digital channel, where games created by Veikkaus&#8217; own game studio also accounted for a large portion of the gross gaming revenue generated by the company&#8217;s online casino, eArpa service and other offers. At the end of 2023, Veikkaus had approximately 2,520,000 registered customers.
