Norway’s Lotteritilsynet said it supports the Culture Ministry’s proposal to block access to websites offering gambling without a Norwegian licence, which was under consultation on 4 November 2021. The authority said blocking could make higher-risk gambling less accessible and noted that more than six in 10 people who use unlicensed providers do not know, or are unsure, who may legally offer gambling.
The proposal could change how unlicensed gambling sites are accessed in Norway and affect operators serving the market.
