Norsk Tipping

Norsk Tipping is the Norwegian state gambling operator, established in 1946 as a government-owned limited company to fund sport and cultural organisations, and headquartered in Hamar. Its portfolio includes Lotto, VikingLotto and Eurojackpot. Norway is the strictest of the Nordic markets. Rather than licensing private competition it retains a full state monopoly, split between Norsk Tipping for lotteries and betting and Norsk Rikstoto for horse racing, with Lotteritilsynet supervising. That model has come under strain from its own operator: Norsk Tipping was fined a total of 110 million Norwegian kroner during 2025 over faults in its lottery systems, including drawing the wrong winners, and now faces a class action. A monopoly justified by consumer protection is uniquely exposed when the protection failure is its own.
