Economics and statistics
The Norwegian monopoly model forms a predictable industry economy: the main cash flow is concentrated in two operators (Norsk Tipping and Norsk Rikstoto), which ensures high collection and channel sales through legal channels.
Profits after operating expenses are directed to sports, culture, youth and charity programs; part of the funds - for the prevention of ludomania and research.
Tight limits on rates and losses, as well as a limited product line, "cut off" super-volatile incomes, but reduce social costs. The "gray" market is constrained by payment/DNS locks and advertising bans, so demand leaks are relatively small.
For the state, these are stable receipts and risk control; for operators - high compliance costs (AML/KYC, responsible game), but low marketing costs due to lack of competition.
