Most sane countries forbid medicine/drug ads by law.

Norway also ban: Alcohol, smoke, gaming, all ads to children, all gun related, not allowed to count points in games before children are 13, credit card loans, all health related than can’t show scientific benefit..

> not allowed to count points in games before children are 12

So it's illegal in Norway for my 12-year-old cousin to beat my highscore in Pacman?

Maybe you're just not allowed toccount the points and have to pretend to let them win? :)

Gaming, as in like video games and board games are banned? Seriously?

Scandinavian translation difficulty: the word for a gambling game here is ‘spel’ or game (at least in Swedish), a video game is a ‘datorspel’ or computer game.

I am fairly certain they mean gaming as in gambling. Would be a bit weird to ban video game ads, surely?

My typo - Should be gambling and all games involved money. The only one allowed is governmental and all the profit from that game go back to sports for kids, and “they” are closely monitoring that you don’t get gambling addicted to that game by forcing you to only play with a personal ID.

No. Gambling ads are not allowed though. Neither alcohol or smoking are banned, but ads for them are.

It's common usage in US English. eg, https://gaming.nv.gov/ do not regulate video games.

I recently visited the US for a conference. The moment I landed, I started getting medicine adverts on websites. It was rather jarring.

Gotta be prepared. It's like, if you go to Australia you have to wear sunblock. If you go to the USA, wear adblock.
