Kindred Group to take on Norwegian Apple App Store ban

Kindred Group has reportedly filed legal papers against the Norwegian gambling regulator, Lotteri- og stiftelsestilsynet for its part in having payment transfers blocked and its iOS app denied by the Apple App Store.

Kindred Group’s Trannel International Ltd subsidiary has filed the complaint, represented by top Norwegian legal firm Glittertind AS.

Kindred Group alleges its services have been unfairly targeted by Lotteri- og stiftelsestilsynet, leaving the company no choice but to pursue the legal avenues available to it.

The company alleges in its filing that the regulator ‘exceeded its power of attorney’ by sanctioning a restriction on its gambling apps by Apple while blocking of payment services was deemed an overreach in Lotteri- og stiftelsestilsynet’s regulatory conduct.
