No. Voita raffles are non-monetary prize draws conducted under the Finnish raffles framework (Arpajaislaki §27). Entry is free, no purchase is required, and there is no element of stake.

Each raffle landing page (e.g. /voita/ ) lists the exact entry actions — typically subscribing to the PUTKI HQ Telegram channel or completing a free diagnostic. We never ask for payment.

When is the winner drawn?

Each raffle has a published draw date and time on its landing page. The draw is conducted in the back-office, the winner is recorded with a timestamp, and the result is published within 24 hours on the same landing page plus /voita.

Anyone 18 years or older who is a resident of Finland or the EU/EEA, unless the individual raffle says otherwise. Employees of PUTKI HQ and immediate family are excluded. No purchase, no subscription fee, no element of stake.

How are winners contacted?

The winner is contacted via the channel they used to enter (Telegram DM, email, or in-app message depending on the raffle). If we cannot reach the winner within 14 days, the prize rolls into the next raffle and a new winner is drawn.

Is there a partner / sponsor?

Some raffles are sponsored by operators (Smartico-listed partners only). The sponsor is displayed prominently on the landing page along with the commercial disclosure required by /affiliaatti policy. PUTKI HQ retains full editorial control over the raffle mechanics.

Is the prize taxable?

Non-monetary raffle prizes under the Finnish raffles framework are tax-exempt for the winner when the organising publication operates under §27. PUTKI HQ pays the prize value as a non-cash item; we strongly recommend the winner verifies their own tax situation with Verohallinto if the prize value exceeds €5 000.

What if I do not want to be publicly named as a winner?

We honour pseudonymity on request. The default public announcement uses first name + city. Winners can request first-name-only, initials-only, or full anonymity (the raffle still publishes "Winner drawn" with the timestamp — the absence of name is the privacy preserve).

Can I see past winners?

Yes. /voita lists every completed raffle with the winner field populated (subject to the pseudonymity choice above). The historical archive goes back to the platform launch.

How does this relate to the Finnish Gambling Act 2025/2027?

The new act does not change the legal status of non-monetary free-entry raffles. Voita continues under Arpajaislaki §27 unchanged after 2027-07-01. We documented our position fully on /saantely/reform-2027.
