For us, it's more about the VIP players, more than the big losers who need a completely different type of help.
Ever wondered how a state-owned company tackles gambling addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Sukkerpodden', host Bente Josefsen sits down with Bjørn Helge Hoffmann, the head of responsible gaming at Norsk Tipping. They dive into the nitty-gritty of gambling addiction in Norway, exploring the measures Norsk Tipping takes to curb this growing issue. Hoffmann shares some surprising statistics about the number of people affected and details the company's strategies to prevent addiction, such as setting spending limits for users.
But it's not just about numbers and policies; they also touch on the human side of the story. How do people react when Norsk Tipping reaches out with concerns about their gambling habits? What moral dilemmas does the company face, knowing that their services can be addictive? This episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions. It even addresses whether problem gamblers simply move to other platforms when restrictions are enforced.
