Key facts

In July 2026, the FrP party (Silje Hjemdal) relaunched the debate on opening up to competition on the Swedish or Danish model, without a bill; the Labour government undertakes to preserve Norsk Tipping's exclusive rights. In May 2026, Norsk Tipping was called to order over the marketing of KongKasino. The total of 238 blocked sites dates from the February 2026 update of the Lottstift page; no more recent decision appears there.

Offshore sites

Illegal for operators (DNS blocking and payment blocking). The player is not penalised (Lottstift: searching for a blocked site is not illegal), but deposits and withdrawals of winnings may be blocked by Norwegian banks.
