Hello! My name is Kari Eikrem, and I am sincerely appreciative of your visit to my page. It’s always a pleasure to connect with new casino fans, and I hope you find the information here both engaging and informative.
Who I Am
I’m a casino analyst and the voice behind Norwegian Online Casino. My background includes years working in the online gambling industry — first in customer support, then in compliance and game testing, and eventually in platform evaluation. This hands-on experience taught me how casinos actually operate, not just how they market themselves.
People often tell me that casino games and bonus structures finally make sense after I explain them. I take that as a compliment. Clarity matters to me. Too much gambling content is either overly technical or overly hyped with marketing. I aim for the middle ground: clear explanations that respect your intelligence without overwhelming you with jargon.
Why I Started This Site
The Norwegian online casino industry has grown rapidly, and not all information available to players is accurate or honest. I started this site because I noticed a gap: players needed straightforward, unbiased guidance about how casinos work, which operators are trustworthy, and where common pitfalls lie.
My goal is simple. I want casino play to feel understandable, relaxed, and fair. No pressure, no false promises, no exaggerated claims about “guaranteed wins” or “foolproof systems.” Just an honest analysis of what casinos offer and what players should expect.
My Approach to Reviews
When I review a casino, I test it the same way you would. I create an account, make deposits, play games, test withdrawals, and contact support with real questions. I examine bonus terms line by line, check licensing credentials, and verify security measures. This process takes time, but it ensures that my reviews accurately reflect the actual player conditions.
I don’t accept payment for positive reviews. Casinos cannot buy better ratings or improved rankings on this site. If a casino has problems — slow withdrawals, unfair terms, poor customer service — I document them clearly. If a casino excels, I explain why. Editorial independence is non-negotiable.
What I Focus On
- Responsible Gambling: I always emphasize the importance of responsible gambling. Casinos are entertainment, not income sources. The house edge ensures that operators profit over time, and losses are inevitable. I encourage setting strict limits, recognizing warning signs of problem gambling, and seeking help when needed. Every review I publish includes information about responsible gambling tools available at that casino. Self-exclusion options, deposit limits, and reality checks matter. Casinos that lack these features receive lower ratings.
- Bonus Clarity: Casino bonuses look attractive but often come with complex terms. I break down wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and maximum bet rules. My goal is to help you understand exactly what you’re accepting when you claim a bonus — and whether it actually provides value. Many bonuses sound better than they are. I point this out when it happens. If wagering requirements are unrealistic or terms are player-unfriendly, I say so directly.
- Game Selection and Quality: I evaluate game libraries based on variety, software providers, and playability. Slot selection matters, but so do table games, live dealer options, and niche categories. I test games across devices to ensure they function properly on desktop and mobile. Software providers indicate quality. Casinos partnering with established developers like NetEnt, Microgaming, Evolution Gaming, and Play’n GO typically offer better games than those relying solely on lesser-known providers.
- Payment Processing: Withdrawals are where many casinos fail. I test payment methods, processing times, verification requirements, and fees. A casino might have excellent games and bonuses, but if withdrawals take weeks or verification is unnecessarily complicated, that’s a serious problem. I also examine deposit options. Players need convenient methods that work in their region — bank transfers, cards, e-wallets, and increasingly, cryptocurrency options.
- Customer Support: Support quality varies dramatically between casinos. I contact support teams with genuine questions and evaluate response times, helpfulness, and problem-solving ability. Live chat should be available during reasonable hours, and email support should respond within 24 hours.
My Writing Philosophy
I avoid unnecessary complexity. If something can be explained simply, I explain it simply. I also avoid hype and exaggeration. You won’t find phrases like “best casino ever” or “incredible opportunities” on this site. I describe what casinos offer accurately and let you decide if that matches your preferences.
Lists and bullet points have their place, but I prefer writing in clear paragraphs that develop ideas fully. I want you to understand not just what a casino offers, but why it matters and how it affects your actual playing conditions.

My Values

- Independence: No casino can buy favorable coverage. My opinions are my own, based solely on testing and analysis.
- Responsibility: I promote safe gambling practices and never encourage excessive play or unrealistic expectations about winning.
- Clarity: Complex topics deserve clear explanations. I avoid jargon when simpler language works better.

Thank you for stopping by. I know that choosing a casino can feel overwhelming, given the numerous options available. I hope that the information here helps you navigate that choice with confidence.
Gambling should be an entertaining activity with clear rules and fair treatment. When casinos fall short of that standard, I say so. When they meet it, I acknowledge that too. My job is to give you the information you need to play safely and make choices that align with your preferences.
Let’s take a closer look together at what the online casino industry offers — and what it should offer, but sometimes doesn’t.
