Lottstift Wins Case Against Trannel; Orders Kindred To Remove Operations From Norway For Good

Confirmation of the original judgment:

In a long-lasting legal case, the Borgarting Court of Appeal confirmed that Trannel’s brands provided illegal online gambling services to Norwegian users. Lottstift solidifies the expectation for Trannel to completely withdraw from the Norwegian market, marking an essential moment in the country’s crackdown on illegal gambling. Despite the huge daily fine imposed on Trannel, the Ministry of Culture and Equality did not believe the brand would temporarily withdraw from Norway.

Kindred continues to defend its subsidiary:

Kindred has long claimed that Lottstift held no definitive legal precedent under Norwegian or European Economic Area (EEA) laws to restrict its subsidiary business. It also stated that it had followed all Norwegian gambling rules to ensure minimum exposure to national consumers.

Kindred is officially authorized to bear the legal costs incurred by the state in this dispute:

Lottstift states that Kindred has been mandated to bear the legal costs incurred by the state in this litigation. Culture and Equality Minister Anette Trettebergstuen admitted the state’s victory, reaffirming the validity of the Norwegian Lottery Authority’s actions and the necessity of regulating the gambling market to protect consumers and uphold legal and ethical standards.
