The successful Trackmania charity tournament organized by Volvic and BIG returns for its second iteration this October!
We are delighted to announce that the BIG Volvic Charity Race returns for its second iteration this October!
Continuing with our successful format from last year, the BIG Volvic Charity Race 2022 will see five professional players and five community qualificants duke it out in Trackmania on special Volvic themed maps! The community will receive the opportunity to play with some of Trackmania’s best, while raising money for UNICEF’s WASH program that provides children and their families with access to drinking water, hygiene and sanitation supplies and services.
Last year we were able to raise over 10,000€ through Volvic and community efforts!
Community participants will be decided by a week-long qualification process where entrants will be able to play the special Volvic Trackmania maps, and achieve the best possible records before the phase ends. We will be sharing more information in the upcoming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

Veikkaus’ active preparation towards the new gambling system, which will launch in 2027, continues.
As part of the new strategy, Veikkaus held change negotiations in the Betting and Online Casino operations in the autumn. The change negotiation process has now been completed. Following the change negotiations, 14 employment relationships ended and 19 Veikkaus employees underwent significant changes in their employment relationships.
“We had to make decisions that were painful from a human perspective, but they are necessary for the future of the company. I would like to thank those who will no longer be with us for their hard work,” said Business Director Jarkko Nordlund.
According to Nordlund, Veikkaus is now creating a new organizational structure that will prepare the company for the coming years.
“Digitalization is also strongly driving our industry. International competition and the pace of development are really fierce. Veikkaus has decades of fine traditions and a lot of good expertise as a company. Alongside these, we now need the kind of professionalism that will enable us to serve our customers even better and more individually.”
The company is recruiting dozens of new digital channel and betting professionals over the coming year.
“We need more expertise for Veikkaus that will make us even stronger and more competitive in the new market situation. We are also looking beyond Finland’s borders. According to current estimates, more than 30 new positions will open by next summer. We want to be strong, growing and profitable in the future,” Nordlund said.
The Parliament intends to have the new Gambling Act passed by the end of 2025. When the law comes into force, it will open up the opportunity for other gambling companies, in addition to Veikkaus, to apply for, for example, sports betting and online casino licenses in the Finnish market. According to the current estimate, other gambling companies could also start operating with a license in Finland during 2027.
Lottery games, cardboard tickets and physical slot machines will remain exclusive to Veikkaus in the future.
