Numbers of Problem Gamblers Rise in Finland

The Finnish organization, THL, found that 4.2% of people surveyed may have or develop gambling problems, up from 3% before.

More men than women struggle with this issue. While fewer people overall gamble, those who do are at risk. THL believes fast-paced games and frequent rewards contribute to addiction.

Veikkaus, the state gambling operator, is downsizing physical locations but improving safety measures.
