Key Takeaways
  • The Norwegian Gaming and Foundation authority has warned online gambling consumers that they put their money at risk gambling with offshore sites, continuing their efforts to clamp down on what it considers illegal gambling.
  • It added that it has no control over foreign companies, and thus no control over whether players will be paid their winnings—a seemingly contradictory position given its primary attack vector is blocking payment processing to consumers’ bank accounts.
  • The latest press statement follows a renewed effort over the last month to try to curtail online gambling sites from offering their service to Norwegian citizens.
