The ban on online gambling is growing

We are certain that the government is its delegates have nothing better to do than make the flops for the players online. As we spoke a few days ago of restrictions for France, the movement is growing in Norway now. Game operators are asked not to accept Norwegian resident players who wish to play at an online casino or any other gambling site.
The same laws were put in place in the United States two or three years ago, and debates are still going on at the highest level for legalization and regulations. Players are jostled from one side to another when it comes to Online gambling; since the game is perfectly legal in some countries but illegal in others. As usual, the Norwegian government has its favorites in terms of licensing; only two companies can operate on the Norwegian market at the moment: Norske Tipping and Rikstoto.

So, Norwegian players, where will you go? According to the latest news, Playtech, a major in the online casino and sports betting industry has already applied for an online license for this profitable country. if the Norwegian government decides to grant them a license to offer the online game to Norwegian players. Currently if players want to use a payment method such as Paypal, they will be blocked and can not play.

The decision to block transactions to Norwegian gamers' gaming sites could attract the attention of the European Commission. However, there is a statistic to take into account, Norway is not part of the European Union, it is right on its border. We will have to keep an eye on this case. From 1 June, players resident in Norway will only be able to use Norwegian casino sites.

We need to see the positive side of the situation, as there is a demand for licenses, so we are confident that the market will open up.  Using a deposit method such as Neteller, the player in Norway can enjoy the many games offered on sites accessible in Norway. A big advantage is that Playtech is in business with Scientific Games Corporation which has just signed a twelve-year deal with Norsk Tipping. Time will tell if Norway will open to the gaming market or not.
