A joint Nordic research project is now mapping gambling habits and gambling problems – 150,000 people in the Nordic region are participating in the sample.

The Nordic countries Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have launched a unique joint research project on gambling: the Pan-Nordic Gambling Study (PANG). The aim is to gather comparable knowledge about gambling habits and gambling problems in the region – something that has been lacking so far. From Sweden, the Public Health Agency, which is responsible for the assignment, and the Swedish Gambling Authority have participated in the work of developing the study.

The study includes, among other things, the prevalence of gambling, participation in different forms of gambling, differences between licensed and unlicensed gambling, and the connection between gambling and health.

“The study will provide a basis for assessing gambling and gambling problems in the Nordic countries. It will be exciting to compare the results with previous Swedish data and with the rest of the Nordic countries, especially since so few similar joint surveys have been conducted in Europe,” says Maria Vinberg, investigator at the Swedish Gambling Authority.

Data collection will now begin in November 2025, when approximately 30,000 randomly selected people in each country will have the opportunity to participate in the survey. The results of the survey will be published in a joint report in spring 2026 and will constitute an important knowledge base for research and future decisions in the field of gambling.

Soft2Bet has launched Betoro in Denmark, a new sports betting and casino brand created for Danish fans seeking a closer connection to sport through an experience defined by clarity, control and local relevance.

At the heart of Betoro’s philosophy is “guided passion”, an approach that captures the emotion of sport while keeping the overall experience clear, structured and easy to trust. Designed for players who want the thrill of the game without unnecessary friction, Betoro turns sporting intensity into informed, confident play.

The same philosophy shapes Betoro’s visual identity. A dark palette, metallic accents and deep red tones give the brand a focused and confident presence, while the bull at its centre brings a sense of strength, patience and control. The result is an identity that captures the intensity of sport in a way that still feels clear, balanced and easy to use.

Designed specifically for Danish audiences, Betoro brings native Danish support, culturally aware messaging and an experience that feels natural to local players. Its content and campaigns reflect the leagues, teams and sporting culture that Danish audiences follow most closely, while activations around key holidays and cultural moments show the same respect for the local language, habits and traditions.

MEGA, Soft2Bet’s Motivational Engineering Gaming Application, sits at the centre of Betoro’s retention strategy. Danish players will encounter custom milestones that bring structure and a visible sense of progression to everyday play. In Betoro, gamification serves as a natural evolution of the player journey, providing entertainment value and measurable achievements that are delivered as players simply enjoy the platform experience, complementing the brand’s sense of control and momentum.

Yoel Zuckerberg, CPO at Soft2Bet, said: “With the release of Betoro in Denmark, our goal was to build a brand that feels authentically Danish. We understand true localisation involves reflecting local sporting culture and player preferences in ways that make the experience feel familiar and relevant. By combining that cultural respect with our ‘guided passion’ approach to responsible gaming and the natural progression and achievements powered by MEGA, we are delivering an experience for Danish players that is both entertaining and built for long-term engagement.”

With Betoro, Soft2Bet continues to expand its portfolio of brands shaped by strong creative direction, local execution and responsible product design. The launch reflects the company’s belief that lasting success comes from giving players experiences that feel genuinely relevant in their market, upholding high standards of usability and creating value well beyond the first session.
