Serious About Norway

The European gambling monopolies are still causing issue is Scandinavia but a handful of the foreign companies are not willing to take no for an answer. The media lately has been full of instances where the online casinos and gambling companies force their way into the blocked markets as a way to make a statement – even if that means a legal battle in the future. Just earlier this month Stanleybet challenged the Greek land betting monopoly by opening up a bookie shop in the country. Unibet consistently challenges the Swedish online casino gambling monopoly, Svenske Spel, despite the fact that Swedish authorities are taking the issue to the high courts. The most recent news is from Ladbrokes, the company announced it will go all the way through the courts for the right to hold a Norwegian land and online casino gambling market.

Ladbrokes lost a ruling in the Norwegian courts just recently and there were a few in the industry who doubted that the land and online casino gambling group would appeal the ruling and take the battle through the courts. But they were wrong, Ladbrokes just announced that the company will appeal the court ruling that upholds the Norwegian gambling monopoly on internet gambling.

Ladbrokes, like many online casino gambling companies in the UK and Europe, firmly believes that the monopolistic gambling laws in place in Norway and other countries are in direct defiance of EU policies regarding the free trade of goods and services between EU member states. For that reason Ladbrokes is confident that it will eventually win the case and the right to hold a Norwegian license – even if that means taking this case all the way to the top court in the EU, the European Court of Justice.
