Norwegian regulator Lotteritilsynet will once again pause its daily fines against Kindred, having now determined that the Unibet operator does not target Norway.

The pause is the latest step in a long saga between Kindred and authorities in Norway, including Lotteritilsynet.

Lotteritilsynet in September warned Kindred that it would impose a fine of NOK1.198m (£98,902/€113,930/$116,930) for every day the operator did not withdraw from Norway, after it previously warned it would issue fines if the operator did not exit the market.

The daily fine was due to come into effect three weeks after the day Lotteritilsynet decided to implement the fine. That decision came on 14 September.
