Enforcement & compliance

Source: Lotteritilsynet (Norway)

Norway’s Lotteritilsynet said companies behind Unibet, Betsson, ComeOn and bet365 were withdrawing from the Norwegian market after the authority carried out inspections. The regulator said the companies had operated illegally and warned that firms that do not leave could face website blocking under rules expected next year.

The planned withdrawals and potential blocking affect operators’ access to the Norwegian market.
