Regulation of online gambling in Norway

At present all forms of interactive gaming via electronic channels are prohibited in Norway. However the state controlled monopolies Norsk Tipping and Norsk Rikstoto may allow for players to participate in their terrestrial gaming activities via the internet.

A summary by Rolf Francis

Current status

Prohibition/criminalisation of payment transfers from Norway to overseas gaming sites

In December 2008 the Norwegian Parliament enacted the bill proposal from the Norwegian 
Government regarding a prohibition on processing of payments from Norway to non-licensed 
remote gambling sites. The activity encompassed by the bill is the processing of 
payments to remote gambling sites without a Norwegian license, classified as an unlawful 
accessory involvement in the holding and mediation of non-licensed gaming.

The prohibition is anchored in Gaming Law and not Financial Law. Entities comprised by 
the bill are Norwegian credit card companies, financial institutions and other entities 
assisting the transfer of payments for remote gambling from gamblers in Norway.

The legislative aims are to create an obstacle for remote gambling from Norway, 
strengthen national supervision of the domestic gaming market, limit evasion of 
Norwegian gaming law as interactive gaming, casinos and poker are prohibited in Norway.

The bill is reasoned upon Norway being an attractive market for the remote gaming 
industry as a high proportion of Norwegians have access to the internet, entailing a 
significant increase in remote gambling from Norway. There are also indications of 
growing social problems and concerns that remote gambling represents a serious risk to 
public health.

A proposal containing more detailed regulations regarding the prohibition was sent for 
public consultation and notification in April 2009. This period has now expired and it 
is expected that both the bill and the regulations will come into force during the 
course of autumn this year.
