From 1988 to 1990 he was the leader of the Young Liberals of Norway, the youth wing of the Liberal Party. He was a member of Jølster municipal council and Sogn og Fjordane county council.[1]
In 1997, during the first cabinet Bondevik, he was appointed political advisor in the Ministry of Transport and Communications under Minister Odd Einar Dørum.[2] When Dørum changed ministry to the Ministry of Justice and the Police in 1999, Hamar followed.[3] He was soon promoted to state secretary, and held this position until the first cabinet Bondevik fell in March 2000.[1]
Instead he was appointed director of the Norwegian Gaming Authority.[1] In 2006 he was elected chair of the International Association of Gaming Regulators.
