Best Online Casinos - Norway

According to our Gambling Laws Report, there are currently 653 casinos that accept players from Norway and 113 casinos that are considered to be "Norway friendly,"meaning that they have a Norwegian language version on the website, Norwegian players have access to Norwegian-speaking support, and they can make deposits in Norwegian kroner. Fourteen casinos specifically target the Norwegian market.

Online casinos in Norway are regulated and players have full access to operators in theonline gambling industry. Two state-owned companies control all types of gambling in Norway: Norsk Tipping and NorskRokstoto. Norsk Tipping operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs, which imposes and enforces all gambling laws and regulations for casinos in Norway, including taxes. For example, a player can win up to 10,000 NOK tax-free if the casino is licensed in the European Union. Currently we have more than 650 online casinos in our database that accept Norwegian players, over 200 of which are licensed in Malta.

The official currency in Norway is the Norwegian krone (NOK). Its value compared to the most popular currencies accepted in online casinos varies considerably, mainly based on changes in oil prices. In the online gambling world, more than 23% of all operators accept deposits in NOK. In our database, there are 176 casinos that allow this currency to be used for betting and gaming. Players in Norway can also use other world currencies, such as EUR and USD. The most popular deposit method for online casinos in Norway is Neteller. Players usually have no problems making deposits and withdrawals via this method, and now 600 online casinos offer Neteller to their Norwegian customers.

Norwegian players are known for their preference for slot machines. Until 2007, slot machines could be found not just in casinos in Norway, but also in coffee shops, stores, gas stations, and other public places all over the country. The most popular slot machines were Jackpot 2000, Old Timer, Magic Lines, and others. In 2007, government regulations called for the removal of all slot machines from public areas, so Norwegian players turned to online casinos. The software provider NetEnt created online versions for the most popular games, but they had to change the names due to trademark laws.

The first game developed by NetEnt was Jackpot 6000 (RTP 98.86%), an online version of the land-based Jackpot 2000 slot machine, and it became an instant hit with Norwegian players. Super Nudge 6000 video slot by NetEnt (RTP 96.8%) was developed to substitute the Old Timer slot machine, and Mega Joker (RTP 99%) slot was created with Super Joker slot machine in mind. All these casino games are now available on any mobile device.

Later, another software provider, BetSoft, created online adaptations for the Norwegian slot machines, and even kept the same names. Today, this type of video slots, which was based on the popular Norwegian slot machines, is called Norwegian Slots. In general, Norwegian players prefer video slots with simple designs and mechanics, but their favorite games are those with a progressive jackpot. All of these games are available in download, browser and mobile versions, and most have free play mode, but progressive jackpots cannot be hit in free play. The leaders are Mega Fortune by NetEnt and Mega Moolah by Microgaming (RTP 88.12%). In 2011, a Norwegian player hit the jackpot of 92.4 million kroner on Mega Fortune slot at Betsson Casino. This record was broken in 2013 by a player from Finland who won a jackpot of 133 million.
