Lotteritilsynet warns chess federation over proposed Kindred partnership
Source: Lotteritilsynet (Norway)
Norway’s Lotteritilsynet warned the Norwegian Chess Federation that a proposed cooperation agreement with Kindred could raise issues under gambling rules. The regulator said Kindred lacks Norwegian permission to offer gambling and cited a March order requiring its subsidiary Trannel to stop an allegedly unlawful service; Trannel has appealed that order.
The warning puts the proposed partnership in doubt because Kindred lacks Norwegian gambling permission and Trannel’s stop order remains under appeal.
