Norwegian government sets four-year strategy on gambling harms
Norway’s government has announced a national strategy to address gambling harms from 2026 to 2029, with prevention, treatment and research measures but no regulatory changes. Lotteritilsynet and Medietilsynet will share responsibilities with health authorities, while plans include expanded surveys, a nationwide harms study and annual forums with operators.
Operators will face annual government forums as Norway strengthens prevention, research and efforts to block payments to unlicensed providers.
