Norway ministry proposes legal changes allowing Norsk Tipping online poker

Norway's Ministry of Culture and Equality has accelerated a public consultation on proposed gambling-law changes that would allow state operator Norsk Tipping to offer online poker, including tournaments and cash games. The proposals include daily and monthly loss limits, caps on stakes and tournament fees, and a required break for tournament players; the ministry says the aim is to draw players away from unregulated offshore offers.
