Flutter–Stars Group Deal Gets Approval from Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
Flutter Entertainment has received informal approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for its proposed combination with The Stars Group (TSG).
The approval from ACCC is seen as a milestone in the group’s attempts to merge with Flutter to create what is expected to be one of the world’s biggest betting businesses.
But the company said the proposed deal remains subject to approval by the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board, as well as further international regulatory bodies.
The deal was first announced in October and the combined group will serve customers in more than 100 countries.
