Gambling Legislation For Norwegian Casinos And Gamblers

Given the fact that the country’s economy mainly relies on oil and gas from the North Sea, it seems highly likely for the government to make another attempt to get more gambling revenues should the price of the oil remain low for a longer period of time. However, pressure from the higher regulating bodies in the industry where Norway is a member could, in fact, force the government to drop its plans once again. This is excellent news for Norwegian players.

Land-based Casinos In Norway

As expected, brick-and-mortar casinos in the country are more difficult to start. This is why you, as a tourist or citizen of Norway will not be able to locate any casinos in Oslo for the time being. You can, however, come across some bingo shops which are allowed to operate under strict laws and regulations.

The future is not looking very good either in terms of land casinos. The country could take the example of Sweden which has already adopted their very own internet gambling set of regulations starting January the 1st, 2019.
