Norsk Tipping introduces
stricter limits
Norsk Tipping, Norway’s leading games company, is introducing stricter regulations, including an 18-year age limit on all of its games, as well as a limit on the stake you are allowed.
- Our aim is to be world leaders in showing responsibility for our players, says Norsk Tipping CEO Torbjoern Almlid.
- In our opinion, betting is for adults, and we therefore want to change the age limit to 18 years, he says.
Stakes will be limited to NOK 40,000 per day, 100,000 per week, 300,000 per month and NOK 1 million a year.
Norsk Tipping is wholly-owned by the Norwegian state. The company's main objectives are to provide the Norwegian people with responsible games and entertainment within social acceptable conditions, and at the same time ensure a secure and long-term profit for the beneficiary organizations.
The profit is divided equally between the sports and culture sectors. In a transition period, a part of the profit is also allocated to the research sector.
The company operates the games of chance, Lotto, Viking Lotto and Joker; the games of skill Tipping and Oddsen, and the scratch game Flax. In addition, the company operates the TV game, Extra, on behalf of the Norwegian Foundation for Health and Rehabilitation.
