Frequently asked questions

Are there poker rooms in Norway?

No. Norway has no casinos and no licensed card rooms. The only place to play tournament poker for money legally is the annual national championship, held at Thon Congress Gardermoen.

When does poker run at Thon Congress Gardermoen?

Once a year. The 2026 Norgesmesterskap i poker runs 25 September to 4 October; outside that window there is no poker at the venue.
