Dochen Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 From next Monday, a new law in Norway will be introduced which prohibits Norwegian banks from sending money and receiving money from foreign bookmakers. Do you have any solution to this?link to more infomore info from norwegian Lottery and foundation supervision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psrquack Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Same situation in my country.If Unibet has a licence-no problem.If not and the government wants to give out licences before the deadline starts Unibet will get one- no problem.If the government wants to protect the market- Unibet will close all the accounts and you will get the money via bank transfer.In my country is situation two (with some problems) but in other countries with the same legislation the situation three exists.:annoyed:I expect a short (I will ask the legal team) answer from the guys not before Monday.

MarcoV Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Our payment solution remains the same and will not affect our customers in any way. We have merely changed our payment service provider, which we do from time to time in order to improve the customer experience.In other words - you have no reason not to be calm, as the payment solution has not changed :) Placing a bet in Norway is not illegal and therefore our customers are free to do so. Nor is it illegal to transfer money out of Norway through foreign payment service providers. Former community moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi!I cashed out some bucks on Friday, got aware of the new law-thingy on saturday..I've yet to recieve anything, so i assume it's been blocked by the bank..So, what happens now? Are they just floating around somewhere?I'll recheck tomorrow, but i have my doubts.:(edit: Sweet stuff you guys are doing at unibet. What the Norwegian government is doing is kinda against the "EØS" (EU) agreement, so good thing you do your stuff to prevent them to make it through :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShah Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Same situation here, I normally would have received the withdrawed money already, but it still did not arrive in my account. The Unibet employees guaranteed me that I would have my money if I would win and cash out, so if it doesn't I am done with Unibet for good!

BonusPater Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 @TheShah, @RIP, give it another couple of days and let me know if the money still hasn't arrived on your account by then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShah Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sure thing. I anyways trust Unibet to find a solution to this if it were to be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hykkerten Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Its been 4 days since I withdrew some money from my account, and I havent received anything yet. Is this really just a coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonusPater Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 @Hykkerten, welcome aboard the community boat! :) Yes, I believe so. As we haven't heard from @TheShah and @RIP, I assume they've gotten their money as well, it just took a little longer than usual. Give it till Tuesday afternoon and let me know if you haven't received the money by then. I'm sorry it's taking longer than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
