About the association

The Norwegian Poker Association is an association that will work for the best interests of Norwegian poker players.

The association was founded on March 22, 2013.

The board consists of a handful of people who are passionate about poker being regulated as a mental sport, not a random game of luck. We are working to get a change in the law so that we can practice our sport legally in Norway every day of the year – and not just during the Norwegian Poker Championship.
