Lotteritilsynet, Forbrukartilsynet and Medietilsynet have agreed to work together to protect young people from gambling-related harm in Norway. Lotteritilsynet said 64% of Hjelpelinjen users identified online casino games as the main or only source of their gambling problems; the authorities also raised concerns about gambling features in video games.
The joint work targets risks to young people from gambling and gambling-like features in video games.
