Norway wants to be free of Internet Gambling
Norway is leading the Scandinavian countries in the fight to ban internet gambling.
Minister for Culture and Church Affairs Trond Giske has drafted a law that is very similar to the USAs Prohibition-style Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which prevents financial institutions (banks, credit card companies) from making transfers to foreign gaming companies. Giske tried to ban slot machines in 2006. The Norwegian legislators want to bar access to sites as well as blocking financial transactions. The move is in response to public pressure against gambling in the country. If the measures pass into law, they could take effect by Spring 2008.
Scandinavia has mixed reactions to gambling. Norway is the toughest on Internet gambling. Denmark regards poker as a game of skill, not chance. Sweden rules poker as an illegal activity and has tried to break up online poker games.
