"Norway’s government has introduced a new gambling law that will place tighter restrictions on international betting and gambling operators that offer unlicensed services in Norway.
The new law was proposed by the Ministry of Culture and Gender Equality with Minister Abid Raja stating that the new bill will merge the country’s outdated and fractured gambling regulatory framework. According to Minister Raja the new legislation aims to replace Norway’s three existing laws and and regulate all gambling activity within the country.

Currently, the Norwegian betting industry is regulated according to three laws — the 1995 Lottery Act, the 1992 Gambling Act, and the 1927 Totalisator Act. The new legislation will combine the most relevant sections of each act into one regulatory framework.

Minister Raja had first proposed a complete overhaul of Norway’s gambling legislation in June 2020. At the time he had spoken of the need to establish a singular framework that would oversee the industry and help limit the number of unlicensed operators who target Norwegian customers."
