Norway to Block Unlicensed Gambling Websites

[MissExposé]

Reportedly, a new legislation that would compel local internet service providers to block unlicensed gambling websites will be introduced in Norway. The consultation paper was recently submitted to the European Commission as part of an effort to stop foreign iGaming firms without relevant license from being able to target Norwegian players.

Good luck with that. Makes Stake, Gamdom, and Roobet and other crypto casinos in particular incredibly happy. We're only a max bet limit away from all UK players mass fleeing to those casinos as well.

Some casinos exclude the use of VPN.

If each government would block unlicensed casinos or casinos without license from respective country, then we can close business.

Never going to happen. We're just going to end up having more casinos like Stake, Gamdom, and Roobet. If people want to gamble, they're going to gamble. We've been gambling for thousands of years.

Agreed, so too does history agree. However, Gov's., prove time and time again, they're not the sharpest pencils in the case. Seems like if they can't figure out how to TAX-IT, then they ban it. With most Governments crying poor due to covid expenses, you'd think, they'd figure out a way to make some dosh from it...

Reiterating, their not too bright it seems

Players don't like to use VPN. I don't know why, but this is fact. Only small amount of playes use VPN.
Russia have very strong internet censorship. Every day hundreds casinos, bookmakers and affiliate sites blocked.
Russian version of google (google.ru) remove this sites from serps. But online gambling still grow from year to year.

Casinos / Bookmakers in censorship countries use another tactics against censorship. The created hundreds and hundreds mirrors every day. For example brand3457.me brand1066.io brand333.com e.t.c.

Affiliates in this countries also used another tacktics. Operators accept brand traffic. So affiliates do the same. They created
1-page sites with the same names like brand734.ru brand2222.net e.t.c. Than use the same design as brand casino / bookmaker.
In the other words they help operators to created mirror-sites.
