Around 2013, the gambling law in Norway changed and the online poker concept was completely banned. Although online poker, as well as other online casino games, was banned there were some licensed poker platform, letting people play within legal boundaries. Technically, online poker is not banned. It’s non-Norwegian licensed websites that are banned from providing online poker to Norwegians.
The reason for limiting poker sites that can offer games to Norwegian to only Norwegian licensed sites is to protect players from getting duped by unlicensed poker websites.
With this, Norway has been able to create a monopoly for Norwegian online poker websites. As it stands, there are over thirty websites offering online poker games to players within the country.
The introduction of mobile poker has significantly increased the popularity of poker games in Norway. Mobile poker has become the most convenient way to access poker games as they can be played on any mobile device that is compatible with Java.
Although the legal restriction on online casino is a major bottleneck for the growth of gambling in Norway, online poker has continued to enjoy widespread popularity among players in the country.
But all this market has seen not much increase as people would think since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic due to the soft measures taken on the country because it has not represented an emergency issue to them until now
