The Ruhr valley in North Rhine-Westphalia was once Germany’s industrial heartland producing coal and steel, the two very essential raw materials of industrialization itself. Coal was mined here for at least four hundred years, usually from shallow drift mines along the Ruhr river. But with the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, the demand for coal and steel increased and the deeper-lying coal seams were reached out for the first time. Within a matter of decades, Ruhr’s coal output skyrocketed from 2 million tons per year in 1850 to more than a hundred million tons at the end of the 19th century. Likewise, steel production rose from a mere 11,500 tons per year to 8 million during the same period.

Self-exclusion software provider Gamban has entered into its first partnership outside of the UK after agreeing a deal to begin working with Norwegian state-owned operator Norsk Tipping.
Under the agreement, players will be able to use Gamban’s free software to block themselves from accessing igaming websites and apps in the country.
Players can choose to self-exclude for 180 days, one year, three years or five years, with the blocker running across all devices. Users do not need to be a Norsk Tipping customer in order to access the blocking feature.
