Let us show you all you need to know about wagering on pro gaming tournaments, including how and were to bet online with Norwegian krone.<\/p>\n<p>Norway&#8217;s own betting services are very limited, so your best bet is to check out the many <a href=\"\/sites\/\" title=\"Best esports betting sites\">online bookmakers<\/a> licensed abroad. The companies above accept Norwegian gamblers and offer a wide range of esports betting markets all day, every day.<\/p>\n<p>Getting started is easy. Tap the &#8216;Bet Now&#8217; links to visit the bookie&#8217;s website and then follow the prompts to create an account. Fast, secure banking options mean you can begin placing bets as soon as you have completed the registration process, which only takes a minute or two in total.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are signed up and have some cash in your account, you need only a few more clicks to get your bets on. Browse the menus to find the markets you want, tap the odds to add them to your bet slip, then set the stake and confirm the wager. You can make multiple selections at a time to create doubles, trebles and even bigger accumulators.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Banking options for Norwegian krone<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of different ways to make NOK payments at online bookmakers.
