Norway continues to block DNS

Norway is trying to maintain its monopoly on gambling, and for this purpose, it proposes to introduce a DNS-blocking law. This means that the country will restrict access to offshore gambling sites to prevent their influence on local players.

Norway does not yet implement a licensing system, unlike most European countries. Instead, only state-owned companies Norsk Tipping and Norsk Rikstoto are authorized to offer gambling and betting.

Norway is worried about the black market in gambling because offshore companies often break the rules and do not provide enough protection for players. As a result, the country wants to block access to such sites via DNS. However, the proposal is controversial and could attract the attention of the gambling industry in Europe, which is pushing for the introduction of licensing instead of a monopoly. Kindred Group, one such company, argues that blocking DNS would violate the rights of the European Economic Area.

The project is also part of Flutter's global 'Do More' plan to improve the lives of people in the communities where the company operates, to help 10 million people by 2030.
