Norway’s monopoly on gambling was labeled as “contrary to all common sense” by one of the leading politicians in the opposition party.
Himanshu Gulati, a senior member of the Progress Party (FRP), spoke at the annual conference of the Norwegian Trade Association of Online Gambling (NBO), where he laid out his arguments as to why the monopoly regime is no longer viable.
“I want us to establish a licensing model,” said the politician from the Progress Party, which after a surge in popularity now scores around 30% in public opinion polls.
“We need a debate about gaming policy that is more fact- and knowledge-based.”
