The amount Dennis paid for the site was undisclosed. However, the purchase continues Dennis Publishing’s expansion of its online stable.
In May a licensing deal announced digital lads’ mag Monkey was to launch in Sweden, Norway and Denmark by the end of the year.
Kontraband’s editorial team of five will be retained in the move and will work alongside the existing Monkey team.
