Survey: Finns do not Trust Finnish MPs in Gambling Matters
Only 9.9 per cent disagree fully or partially with the statement. A mere 3.3 per cent of Finns disagree fully with it. The rest either cannot say their opinion or have a neutral stance in the matter.
These are some of the findings of the survey commissioned by Kasino Curt, the gambling information website. The interviews were conducted as part of Bilendi Oy's M3 Panel, a nationwide consumer panel, between 21 and 23 August 2019. The survey error margin is ±3.1 percentage points. A total of 1,000 Finnish adults responded to the survey, and this sample was weighted based on age, gender and place of residence to represent the Finnish population on a national scale.
The results, published by Kasino Curt on its website ( https://kasinocurt.com ), show that 55-64-year-olds are particularly suspicious of the MPs in gambling-related matters. As many as two in three of them (66.4 per cent) agree fully or partially with the statement. In contrast, 18-24-year-olds have the most trust in the MPs, with 14.8 per cent of them disagreeing fully or partially with the statement.
"The survey indicates that Finns have recently taken a stricter stance on the monopoly position of Veikkaus Ltd, the government-owned betting agency. Moreover, the idea of removing gambling machines from everyday environments is gaining increasing support across all age groups," says Janne Juntunen , Senior Client Service Manager for Bilendi Oy.
Indeed, it seems Finns think that the gambling monopoly in Finland is a good example of a regulatory capture.
