Norway’s Lotteritilsynet warned media companies that illegal gambling businesses may seek coverage around major events, including Eurovision Song Contest and sports competitions. The authority said it had received more reports of illegal gambling advertisements and that such adverts breach the Gambling Act and may lead to sanctions. It urged media companies to check their advertising filters and watch for attempts to evade them.
Media operators face potential sanctions if illegal gambling advertisements appear through their platforms.
