Apple has complied and a total of 38 unlicensed applications connected to some form of gambling have now been blocked in Norway, after the NGA (Norwegian Gaming Authority) asked to block gambling apps.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The compliance was based on the fact that the operators are not licensed to offer such content in the country, and according to the government authority the App Store of Apple has guidelines that prohibits gambling applications from operating without licensing.<\/font><\/p>\n

Frank Hoff Hana, the Senior Advisor of the Norwegian Lottery Authority stated that the decision by Apple was one that will contribute in a positive way by reducing the illegal gaming offer aimed at residents in Norway.<\/font><\/p>\n

However, some opponents of the measure like Morten Klein, who is the chair of Cherry AB, commented that “the blockage restrictions will only create more problem gamblers and false hope for politicians and organizations that fight gaming addiction. the country should follow the same actions as Sweden and Denmark, creating a licensing option for gambling instead”.<\/font><\/p>\n

Some of the blocked companies are LeoVegas, Betsson, Unibet, The Netherlands, Comeon, NordicBet, Norway’s Automation and Coolbet. Both ComeOn and Coolbet, whom feel that it was a illegal action because Norway is part of the EU\/EEA regulations and they alleged that they are licensed via the EU Free Trade Zone.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
