Norsk Tipping's Combat with Gambling Harm
Established in 1948, Norsk Tipping operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture. The company holds the exclusive rights to offer a range of gambling services, including lotteries, sports betting, and other games of chance, within the Norwegian market.
One of the key objectives of Norsk Tipping is to ensure responsible gambling and minimize the potential harms associated with gambling activities. Over time, the company has implemented several measures to prevent problem gambling and protect vulnerable individuals.
From June 1, 2023, the company started subjecting consumers under the age of 20 to additional loss limit restrictions. This was an update to its NOK20,000 monthly mandatory loss limit on all customers across all games.
