Norwegian media authority orders broadcasters to stop illegal gambling adverts

Enforcement & compliance

Norway’s media authority instructed Allente, Altibox, Telenor, Telia and RiksTV to stop carrying adverts for foreign gambling operators on Discovery channels, according to reports. The broadcasters were given until 15 August 2022 to end the advertising; the report said the adverts promoted Unibet, Betsson, Nordicbet and Betsafe, which are not permitted to offer or advertise gambling in Norway.

The order gives broadcasters a deadline to remove advertising for operators described as unauthorised in Norway.
