- 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.
What a player risks
Online casino games in this market are reserved to the state operator. No other site is licensed to offer them, and a licence issued elsewhere, offshore or foreign, does not make play legal where the offer is reserved to a monopoly. A site outside the monopoly is not supervised by the local regulator: its players have no access to that regulator's protection or dispute resolution, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on local law, using such a site may also lead to fines or prosecution. The register records for Norway: 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.
