Betting Sites in Norway

Norway is a Scandinavian country with a high standard of living and which has affordable housing and a very low level of inflation; therefore it is not surprising that wealthy Norwegians can afford to spend some of their savings on betting and in gambling establishments with sports betting being no exception.

Thus betting sites that accept players from Norway open up such opportunities to the local population.

Bookmakers and Betting Sites in Norway

As mentioned above, due to the virtual absence of choice in operators within the national gambling industry, players are forced to look for more preferred betting sites on the Internet and thus often become the clients of international online bookmakers.

Among the world's largest bookmakers who accept Norwegian players, reputable betting companies such as Betsson, 22Bet NordicBet and Betsafe are three of the undoubted leaders.

Is Online Sports Betting Legal in Norway?

In Norway the state fully regulates the gambling industry and in fact there are only two state-owned bookmakers that have licenses to operate locally.

The fact that there is such a meager selection of online bookmakers has quite reasonably led to local bettors looking for possible alternatives and with certainty options are found.

Taking into account the fact that the operation of betting sites on the territory of Norway without a local license is prohibited by the state, the average number of Norwegians using foreign betting websites sites remains at a high level.

How many Norwegians bet on sports?

While the population of the country does not exceed 5.4 million people, according to statistics up to 800,000 Norwegians engage in sports betting in their free time.

Which kinds of sports betting are popular in Norway?

Perhaps for some it may be a surprising discovery that in Norway, as is the case in the UK, horse racing is of great interest and one of the state bookmaker-monopolies offers betting on this type of competition.

Betting on hockey, football and winter sports such as skiing, curling and ski jumping are also popular sports for placing bets with Norwegians.
