The President has signed a law authorising the creation of a sixth gambling zone in the country.
Trond Bentestuen has officially stepped into the role of CEO of Norsk Tipping, while Norsk Rikstoto has been placed under formal investigation after a system failure allowed more than 23,000 bets to be processed without payment.
Local media outlets reported that the company was in talks with “three to four foreign casino operators, including existing partner Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd, for the development”.
The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation has confirmed the transaction, which could close by the end of the month.
The Rajgangpur raid follows similar enforcement actions in Puri and Berhampur as police target online betting linked to cricket fixtures.
The action follows a wider national crackdown that has already led to 91 casino closures and more than 13,000 deportations.
Strong table volumes drive continued momentum in foreigners-only gaming operations.
The merged platform will combine daily fantasy contests and best ball formats across 38 US states and Canada.
Roger Soleim, COO at Norsk Tipping, confirmed that the operator will engage directly with Sportradar to clarify the matter and evaluate any potential risks associated with the partnership.
The leadership change comes after a difficult 2025 for the operator, with VIP and premium mass weakness weighing on Solaire Entertainment City.
