Norwegian Lottery Appeals Board refuses Lyoness stay on shutdown order

Enforcement & compliance

Source: Lotteritilsynet (Norway)

Norway’s Lottery Appeals Board refused to suspend its 27 January 2019 decision ordering Lyoness to stop operating in Norway, the board said. It concluded that Lyoness was an illegal pyramid-like trading system and said the company must immediately stop operating, participating in or expanding the business in the country.

The board’s refusal means Lyoness must stop operating, participating in or expanding its business in Norway.
