NOK – Norwegian Kroner at Online Casinos in 2024

Strictly speaking, online gambling at foreign websites is not legal in Norway. In 2010, the government implemented a payment-blocking system aimed at preventing Norwegians from depositing to casinos, but this hasn't stopped players from depositing and playing real money games at online casinos.

What makes Norwegian players interested in foreign websites is the much larger selection of games available, and they have more options available than with local gambling offers.

The government is currently working on ideas how to handle offshore gambling websites, and we hope that this issue will be resolved soon. In the meantime, players from Norway are accepted at many online casinos which continue to be very popular.

Playing at a licensed online casino, especially one licensed by a European regulator, bears a lot of security for the players. The UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority are known for tough laws surrounding player protection, prevention of money laundering and problem gambling, but they also make sure that the games offered are certified fair, which means that the random number generators of the slots have to be tested by an independent testing body.

Every player that plays at a licensed online casino will enjoy the same protection and fair games, just like everyone else, and this includes players from Norway.

While many online casinos accept Norwegian kroner, this is not true in every case. An alternative may be to exchange kroner into another common currency such as Euro, GBP or USD. However, when you select a different account currency, fees may apply to your deposits and withdrawals if they have to be converted into a different currency.

Once you've chosen a casino that supports Norwegian kroner you'll be able to make deposits and withdrawals with NOK. However, it's important that you also use a payment provider that supports Norwegian kroner payments, otherwise conversion fees may incur.

Another thing to keep in mind is, that you cannot change your casino account currency, once you've registered the account. If you wish to change the currency, you need to contact the casino support department to discuss further steps. Don't register a new account, as duplicate accounts are not permitted, according to casino terms and conditions.

Norwegian casino players are often offered a casino bonus at online casinos, and they can claim the bonus with Norwegian kroner as well. You can find some of the current bonuses on this page, and also take a look at our detailed reviews providing more information about the bonus terms, payments, terms and more.

There are several payment methods available to players from Norway. Some of these include mobile phone payment solutions including Siru. There are also e-wallet solutions including Jeton and EcoPayz.

However, it's not possible to use a bank transfer from a Norwegian bank, as the government banned use of banks and credit cards for online casino payments.
