Tech giant Apple has scrapped dozens of apps for online casinos and betting from the App Store, at the behest of Dutch gambling authority Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).

The gambling regulator said 55 apps, including those from companies such as Unibet and Bwin, are no longer available for download by Dutch accounts.

“One of the app stores heeded the request of the Gaming Authority and deleted initially 49 and later six so-called real-money gambling apps,” the KSA announced on its website.

The apps were not available via Google.
