The Norwegian iGaming community has been hit with another payment shake-up, echoing the MuchBetter collapse from two years ago. Popular providers Incharge and Blixtpay have suddenly shut down after their backbone provider, Intergiro Intl AB, lost its license to issue electronic money.

For Norwegian casino players, this means no more deposits or withdrawals via these platforms—once valued for their speed and zero fees. Interestingly, the apps remain available for download on Google Play and the Apple Store, though they no longer serve any purpose.
