Sweepstakes, Contests, and Giveaway Laws in Norway

Prize promotions and contests in Norway: rules and regulations

Norwegian legislation on prize promotions was revised following the implementation of the European Directive on Unfair Commercial Practices.

Until 2013, prize promotions based on chance and requiring a purchase were prohibited in Norway. However, following the legislative changes introduced that year, such promotions are now permitted, provided that they comply with applicable consumer protection requirements.

When organising promotions in Norway, it is also essential to comply with specific marketing and data protection regulations, ensuring that promotional terms are clear and easily accessible to consumers.

Norwegian law also restricts certain types of prizes: animals, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products cannot be offered as prizes in prize promotions.ons.
