Norwegian Gambling Regulator Looking for Holisitic Control

Lotteritilsynet, the gambling regulator of Norway, has reaffirmed its opinion that a more holistic control of the Norwegian gambling industry would be encouraged by plans for a new popular gambling law.

In response to the Ministry of Culture’s consultation on the gambling industry’s regulatory reform, Lotteritilsynet reported that a reform is required that “will ensure responsible gambling.”

Abid Raja, Norway’s Minister of Culture, initiated a consultation earlier this year to review the convergence into a single legislative structure of the country’s Lottery Act, Gaming Act and Totalisator Act, whose proposed amendments were sent to the European Commission (EC) last month.

The regulator was particularly optimistic in issuing its response that “the bill clarifies the main aim of the legislation is to avoid gambling issues and other adverse gambling consequences.”

“Norwegian regulation will be strengthened through new instruments that will provide better control of the gambling market and ensure a more responsible gambling offer in Norway,” the statement added.

It clarified that a full view of each user’s gambling operation would allow them to do so if state-owned operators such as Norsk Rikstoto and Norsk Tipping are required to maintain high standards of player safety.

To do this, a clause should be included that would preclude direct competition in the law for state-owned operators. Lotteritilsynet clarified that this was a required step because, in particular, Norsk Tipping provided a number of online casino games linked to “problematic gambling behaviour.”

“These games were only considered safe to offer to players because of the strict player protection controls offered by Norsk Tipping, and direct competition could put players at risk,” the regulator continued.

As a result, it suggested that the new act explicitly stated that Norsk Tipping was the sole operator permitted to offer these games, which “require special public controls.”

Stake is thrilled to announce that Brazil’s Ministry of Finance has officially included Stake Brazil Ltda. in the country’s list of authorised betting operators.

The decision was made following a thorough review of Stake’s application and supporting documents and will allow the brand to operate in Brazil’s booming iGaming market.

While the Ministry of Finance is in the process of evaluating a full licence application, Stake’s inclusion on the authorised operator list will allow Stake Brazil to continue offering the best-in-class gaming and betting experience that local consumers have come to expect.

Stake’s commitment to Brazil will soon be further enhanced, with plans to open an office in São Paulo. The operator will also hire a dedicated country manager, just as it has in other key Latam territories, to bolster operations and hire additional team members. This is in order to grow the local footprint in the region, while complementing Stake’s global operations.

Stake’s partnership with UFC in Brazil has also gone from strength to strength over the years while working with athletes like Alex Pereira and Alexandre Pantoja as they aim to cement their champion status.

Stake would like to extend its gratitude to customers, partners, and the Brazilian regulatory authorities for their support and cooperation during this process.
