Norway has allocated more funds to problem gambling after an increase in figures on gambling-related harm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Norway justifies its monopoly under the premise that the state is better placed than private companies to control online gambling and protect players from problem gambling. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Norway should opt for a multi-licence system such as those in Sweden and Denmark where state-run operators exist alongside private operators. He said such a move could allow Norway to reduce the number of players turning to international I-gambling operators from 66 per cent to 5 per cent within a year, according to Haijer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"background-color:white\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#333333\">No Copyright infringement intended.
