With the <strong>Conservative Party<\/strong> leading the push for reform, industry experts argue that legalising foreign operators could enhance <strong>player protection<\/strong> and increase state revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/puntoventa.online\/producto\/diamond-iii\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporters of the reform highlight that nearly <strong>50% of Norwegian online gamblers<\/strong> already use offshore betting sites, which operate outside national regulations. A <strong>Menon Economics<\/strong> study estimates that switching to a licensing model could generate an additional <strong>NOK 2 to 2.5 billion<\/strong> annually for <strong>sports and volunteer organisations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized text-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/norway-considers-ending-gambling-monopoly-as-political-pressure-mounts2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10854\" style=\"width:599px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/norway-considers-ending-gambling-monopoly-as-political-pressure-mounts2.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/norway-considers-ending-gambling-monopoly-as-political-pressure-mounts2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Norwegian Online Gaming Industry Association (NBO)<\/strong> has also urged the government to adapt to modern gambling trends, noting that neighbouring countries like <strong>Sweden and Denmark<\/strong> have successfully implemented similar systems. Meanwhile, Finland is set to transition to a licensing model in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opposition remains strong from organisations like the <strong>Norwegian Sports Federation<\/strong> and <strong>Gambling Addiction Norway<\/strong>, which argue that an open market could increase problem gambling and reduce social funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The debate has intensified after <strong>Norsk Tipping was fined NOK 36 million<\/strong> in February 2025 due to a technical failure that prevented self-exclusion.
