Casino ID – Key to a responsible world of games
At Veikkaus’ Casino Helsinki you play authenticated. The Know Your Game customer programme supports responsible gaming. On your first visit, you will get a Casino ID card, a key to our world of games. Our goal is to make sure that everybody can keep gaming on the joyful side by setting personal limits on their gaming.
Know Your Game – Our customer programme for responsible gaming
At Veikkaus’ Casino Helsinki, we want to protect the joy of gaming. That is why you will become a part of the Know Your Game customer programme on your first visit. Once you register at the casino reception, you get a personal Casino ID card, a key to our world of games in Helsinki.
At the tables, you authenticate yourself by giving your Casino ID card to the dealer, and on slot machines, you feed your card into the card reader.
Our customer loyalty programme is based on responsibility and does not reward people for gaming. We encourage all our players to familiarize themselves with the rules of the games, since it is easier to control gaming and set personal limits on your gaming if you know them. Our staff is always happy to answer any questions pertaining to the games and offer advice on responsible gaming.
Tools for gaming control
Our goal is that every customer would set suitable personal limits on their gaming. You can access the following tools for gaming control:
- In table games, daily purchase limits
- On slot machines, daily time and loss limits
You can also block your gaming on the slot machines for the rest of the day by pressing the “Panic button” (Peliesto), designed for self-exclusion. You will recognize the button for its red colour on the card reader screen.
Access restrictions
If you lose the joy of gaming, you can opt for an entry ban to the casino. The ban can be either a complete entry ban or limit the number of visits (e.g., once per month).
A temporary access ban or restriction is valid for a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year.
An indefinite access ban or restriction is valid until the individual requests its removal. The removal of an indefinite access ban or restriction can be requested no earlier than one year after its imposition. The indefinite access ban will be lifted 3 months after the request is made.
Access bans and restrictions can be set by casino staff at the casino reception. An indefinite access ban can also be set through our customer service without visiting the casino. The agreement is made online, and identification is done through electronic authentication. The entry ban comes into effect as soon as possible after the agreement is signed, but no later than the next gaming day.
