Norwegian online casinos - a guide for Poles in Norway

norwegian law does not introduce a distinction between gambling offered on the internet and their stationary counterparts. this approach results in quite strict legislation. as a rule, norwegian gambling regulations prohibit organizations, advertising, marketing or distribution of any forms of gambling that do not have the permission of the norwegian game office. such a license can be obtained basically only if the organization has a humanitarian or socially useful purpose. in norway, however, you can legally grow gambling on casino e-cubes run by foreign gambling operators without violating Norwegian law.

Although any organization may apply for a license, permission to conduct commercial activities in the field of gambling are not granted, because by virtue of a Norwegian monopoly in the field of gambling games, the exclusive rights to the provision of commercial services in the field of gambling in Norway have state enterprises Norwegian gambling (gambling) and Norwegian Rikstoto (Totalizator plants). Norsk Tipping is the only legal supplier, among others commercial casino games, gambling, mutual factories and sports facilities, while Norsk Rikstoto offers horse racing bets.

The history of gambling in Norway

Lotters and games have always been strictly controlled by the Norwegian government. According to paragraph 298 and 299 of the Norwegian Penal Code of 1902, only these random games whose operators had relevant licenses were legal. Thus, the organization of all other games was forbidden, in which the main factor influencing the win was happiness. Operators of illegal games were severely punished.

three laws, which were introduced at a later period of the 20th century, introduced some exceptions to a strict ban. they were:

1. Act on Totalizator Act from 1927,
2. Gambling act from 1992
3. Loteries Act from 1995.

In general, they established the state monopoly in this industry. The Act of 1927 was the basis for granting the Norsk Riksoto Foundation the right to offer services in the field of horse racing plants. Supervision over their activities belonged to the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Gambling Act of 1992 granted the state -owned company Norsk Tipping AS exclusive Lotto law and football factories, and the supervision of them was entrusted to the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs. The Lottery Act from 1995 was more comprehensive because it defined and described all forms of lottery and other games. She also allowed such social -oriented organizations to conduct such games, because the collected money could be used for charity.

Legal regulations: ground and internet casinos in Norway

In 2002, the authorities began to reduce slot machines. One of the officially administered reasons for limiting the number of machines and the introduction of various strict requirements was the fact that the number of addicts increased almost proportionally to the number of machines. The bill was introduced in March 2003. Finally, in July 2007, gaming machines were banned in Norway. In 2009, IVT was introduced (interactive video terminals). Players had to have a special card to be able to play them.
