Online gambling has become a growing problem. There is also a lot of gambling advertising on TV where you are enticed, for example, to use 100 kr to get an extra 500 to play with. Initially, one might think that playing a little isn’t so dangerous, but the challenge for many is that the websites are designed to make you addicted. The consequences of gambling can be very serious and many of those who become addicted experience long-term psychological problems.
On this page, you can watch several videos we have made about gambling and gambling addiction, and where you can get help. The videos have subtitles in different languages, and we also have brochures.

Du har kanskje hørt om loot boxes? I hovedsak er en loot boks en pakke du kjøper som du ikke helt vet innholdet av, en slags mysteriebox. Mange barn vil ha Battle pass hvis de spiller Fortnite.
I noen spill kan du forbedre spilleren din med slike bokser, som i Fifa spillene, der noen bokser inneholder veldig gode fotballspillere. Problemet er at du ikke vet hvilke spillere du får.
Se hvorfor de kan være avhengighetsskapende her!
