Norway’s Conservatives are preparing actions to push for the abolishment of Norsk Tipping’s monopoly over the country’s gambling market.
Tage Pettersen, an MP who is also a member of the second biggest political group in Parliament, will use the stage at the upcoming Conservative Party national convention to advocate for the introduction of a multi-licensing system in Norway.
This was made clear in an interview with Pettersen published in local newspaper Moss-Avis.
If measures are not taken against it, Norway will soon become the only European state with a gambling monopoly. Looking at its other Nordic neighbours, Denmark and Sweden have long moved away from this model, while Finland is on its way to launching a licensing system by 2027.
