Norway has strict rules when it comes to gambling, both online and offline. The authorities imposed a block on money transfers to and from foreign online casinos in 2010. Plus, the advertisement of unlicensed casinos on TV was banned in 2021. Only a couple of online casinos licensed by the authorities of Norway are allowed to operate in the country.

The heavy restrictions prompt players from these countries to rely on foreign casinos for a worthwhile gambling experience.
