“The ACCC considered that corporate bookmakers have the capability to access a variety of other channels and advertising opportunities to acquire new customers, including through TV, radio, digital, social media and billboards. The ACCC concluded that there would remain a variety of advertising opportunities that would competitively constrain the merged entity.
