Last year, Norway amended its lottery regulations to allow for five new privately owned lottery licenses.
Just before the close of 2015, the Norwegian gaming authority approved two new license applications by Norsk Pantelotteri AS/Norwegian Red Cross and Lottovate Limited NUF/UNICEF.
Six other applications were denied on account of “technical deficiencies,” but the applicants will have until January 18th, 2016 to appeal the decision.
If fewer than five applicants are ultimately approved, new tenders will be launched until all five licenses have been given out.
