Kindred Group subsidiary Trannel International’s ban from operating in Norway has been upheld by the country’s Lottery Board (Lotterinemnda) and the operator must now stop offering online gambling to Norwegian customers.
Norwegian lottery operator Norsk Tipping’s revenue grew slightly to NOK8.16bn in 2019, while profits grew 2.8% to NOK5.68bn thanks to growth in online sales.
Norway’s gambling regulator Lotteri-og stiftelsestilsynet (Lotteritilsynet) has announced that bingo hall operators will be able to offer their games online with no accompanying land-based draw until 13 April.
News that the Norwegian government has moved to finally close the loophole allowing offshore operators to advertise in the country has been greeted with dismay by the trade association representing these companies, Norsk Bransjeforening for Onlinespill (NBO).
