Sounds pretty harsh, just wondering about the Neteller etc. thing, is that possible?
In Belgium they are planning some big law changes as well, we don't know what yet exactly...

| They dont stop people to use online payment systems, but they can stop banks to transfer there, to some of those sites. Those who have agreements with gaming sites, like moneybookers. But you can always open acounts in foreign banks and do your transfers through those banks!

| It's obviously because poker is full of ridiculous fish that have no idea how to play poker

it's the shittiest news for the norwegians  so, they can;t use any site like netteller or moneybookers for anything? that sucks )
anyway there will always be a way to make those transactions...maybe they will introduce paypal on all poker sites

| Now in moneybookers is also something about transfering money for gambling. Do you know what happen if you mark "transfer for gambling"? Is it illegal or just we need to pay some tax?

First thing i thought about reading few sentences were "ok, moneybookers will do"  Than i saw its already mantioned in the article
I dont think they can controll it anyway what happens with moneybookers etc. What they would need to do would be forbid the Net in Norway. If they dont it will get harder, never impossible.

| Government is not making poker illegal, just dont want some off shore companies taking money out of its residents pockets. Register casino in Norway and its perfectly legal, from what I read.

The "American desease" has reached europe. 
Looks a lot like rules implemented in the US with their anti gambling laws.

| Well this law will make peoples lives a it more difficult, but there always will be ways to bypass this law.

| Online poker/gambling sites are todays version of prohibition of the 30's. These laws are infringing on people's rights and should be fought on that basis.

| Ridiculous . As much as I know, most players use Neteller and Moneybookers anyways, and noones going to stop because of that just a little bit uncomfty. What they will achieve with that is desire for very profitable players to move abroad.

| Simply ridiculous; it's strange to say it but this time norvegian government approved an umbelieveble law. I live in Italy and thought to have seen all worst possible but this time ....

Its ridiculous that governments make online poker/gambling bank-transactions illegal. They better find ways to get their share of the profits instead, by taxing the high-profit players in an honest way. |
That´s right. A better and profitable solution was taxing the transactions.

Hello everybody!
it really sucks to stop people having fun at home quietly. I have that with me also in France the government is preparing a law for the middle of the year.
See you soon for new posts!
