Chilean operators have rejected the request put forward by Grupo Meier, after the company formally requested to join the Antitrust Court (Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia – TDLC) in the ongoing case against Dreams, Enjoy, and Marina del Sol. The three companies have been accused of colluding in the municipal casino bidding process.
Dreams maintained that the FNE’s request does not target competitors like Grupo Meier but rather the State and free competition due to the alleged collusion in casino bids conducted in 2020 and 2021. The casino operator argued that Grupo Meier did not suffer direct damages as a result of the alleged collusive agreement among Dreams, Enjoy, and Marina del Sol, therefore their attempt to be involved in the trial lacks merit.
