Gambling help in Norway
Norway's national gambling helpline, Hjelpelinjen, offers free, anonymous support by phone, chat and email for people with gambling or gaming problems and for those around them. It can also help people install blocking tools on phones and computers. Treatment is part of the public health service: people can contact their GP or go directly to municipal services, and specialist addiction treatment (TSB) is available through the health trusts, often without a GP referral. Peer-support groups and organisations such as Spillavhengighet Norge support gamblers and families, and Gamblers Anonymous meets in larger cities. Norsk Tipping and Norsk Rikstoto offer exclusion and limit tools in player accounts, and NAV offices give free debt and financial advice.
