No longer possible to gamble away big prizes
Big prizes can lead to significantly higher spending on gaming and increase the risk of developing a gambling problem. Norsk Tipping has therefore eliminated the possibility of gambling away prizes of more than NOK 20,000. Instead, the winnings are paid straight into the customer’s bank account.

We introduced so-called ‘two factor authentication’ for our gaming terminals to prevent the misuse of player cards. Since 1 May, all players have had to identify themselves using a one-time password sent to their mobile phone in addition to using their player card and PIN code.

New responsibility tool producing positive effects
One of the most important means of preventing gambling problems is to provide players with an overview of their spending. July was the first month in which customers were provided with a weekly overview of their net spending in the last 7, 30 and 365 days. This was welcomed by customers.
