A court in Sweden has lowered a financial penalty given to a Kindred Group branch back in 2020. The original punishment originated from a dispute regarding incentive guidelines, with the Swedish Gaming Authority (SGA) asserting that specific promotions presented by Spooniker, the Kindred branch, should have been classified as bonuses, thereby breaking existing rules.
Although Kindred promptly modified its offerings and contested the decision, seeking clarification on the interpretation of the updated gaming legislation, the court case persisted. The initial SEK 100 million penalty was initially halved and has now been further diminished to SEK 30 million (roughly USD 2.8 million).
Nevertheless, Kindred insists that the regulations lack precision and are open to multiple interpretations, contending that the penalty should be completely revoked.
