Norway’s Lotteritilsynet imposed a daily administrative fine of NOK 1.198 million on Trannel International over its Storspiller gambling operation in September 2022; the accumulated amount reached about NOK 21 million. The authority later closed its supervisory case after the activity targeting Norway ceased, but the article raises whether the fine was paid; it does not establish that it was.
FDJ United said it completed its acquisition of Kindred in October 2024, adding the Unibet owner to its European gambling group. On a pro forma basis, the group reported 2024 net gaming revenue of €3.6bn and adjusted EBITDA of €964m, with a 25.4% margin; net debt rose to €1.724bn after the integration and a €1.5bn bond issue.
Amsterdam’s District Court dismissed a case brought by players seeking access to personal data and compensation from Kindred’s Unibet over gambling activity between 2010 and 2024. The court found that Gokverliesterug had not supplied documents showing it was not profit-focused and had not clarified its role in representing the players; the source gives no appeal outcome.
FDJ United lowered its annual targets after Q3 2026 revenue fell 8.1% to €794m, with gaming revenue down 6.1% at €1.95bn. The group cited higher taxes in France, the UK and the Netherlands, costing €63m in the first nine months.
FDJ United has lowered its financial targets, according to its Q3 2026 report. Overall revenue for the quarter was 8.1% lower at €794m. The company blamed inherent gaming factors, tax increases and reduced traffic at points of sale, set against unfavourable economic conditions.
FDJ United reported first-half revenue of almost €1.8 billion, down 4.5% year on year, and attributed the decline partly to higher gaming taxes in some markets. The company said UK and Netherlands headwinds weighed on results; excluding those markets, gross gaming revenue would have risen 6.6% and revenue 0.6%. FDJ United also said it would review its online betting and gaming market portfolio and non-core payment and services assets.
