Norsk Tipping has been informed by the Norwegian Lottery Authority of its obligation to correct failures within its anti-money laundering procedures (AML).
The Norwegian Lottery Authority has observed the operator's processes and discovered five discrepancies - the company has until 15 January to respond to the notice, and it has been warned that a NOK 1m ($98,000) fine could be on the cards.
The other half of Norway's monopoly system is Norsk Rikstoto, which has exclusive rights for horseracing bets - it has not fared any better than its online casino gaming counterpart.
Norway's regulator has determined that Norsk Rikstoto should pay NOK 2m, also for violations of anti-money laundering laws.
However, she is not totally forgiving, adding: "the requirement came in 2018, and we expected them to have it in place."
On Norsk Rikstoto rule breaches, Klepaker said: "They have deliberately set aside absolute legal requirements that should enable them to detect and prevent money laundering."
The full decision cites six failures in the company's AML work, and on top of the hefty fine, it will be given a further NOK 50,000 compulsory fine for each day it fails to correct its offences.
Norsk Tipping is no stranger to fines - in October, an even larger NOK 10m fine was approved by the authorities after 47,000 players of the lottery were incorrectly informed that they had won excessively large prizes.
The organisation appears to have had a long-term issue in drawing lottery games incorrectly - when the scandal broke earlier in 2025, Tonje Sagstuen stood down as CEO - the company also had to pay a NOK 46m fine on this occasion.
Norsk Tipping has just announced the appointment of Trond Bentestuen as its new permanent CEO
