Gambling addiction can be a strain for relationships and interfere with responsibilities at home and work. After all it most probably leads to a financial catastrophe. After online gambling was introduced the problem of gambling addiction has risen remarkably.

Recently the government of an European country, Norway, has passed a bill for banning online gambling due to excessive amount of addicts. This would mean that all the financial transactions to and from online gambling sites would be denied.

Studies in Norway have shown that the introduction of slots machines have led to an increase in gambling addiction. This has led the politicians to take the anti-gambling approach as a sure vote-winner. This week Parliament passed the bill to forbid companies to operate online gambling websites in Norway.
