The Norwegian Gambling Authority (Lotteritilsynet) has informed Norsk Tipping that it faces a fine of up to NOK36 million ($3.2 million) for preventing players from self-excluding from their gambling accounts.
Norway’s Gambling Act states all licensed operators must allow players to self-exclude from gambling at any time.
However, in a statement dated 14 February, the Norwegian Lottery Authority (Lotteritilsynet) said Norsk Tipping had reported issues with an iOS update that meant players were not able to self-exclude via the app between January and May of last year.
A NOK36 million fine has been issued to Norsk Tipping, based on 0.35% of its 2024 net turnover which hit NOK10.2 billion.
