Greek court rules OPAP's monopoly is legal

A Greek court ruled on Tuesday that OPAP’s betting monopoly in the country is legal, court officials said, rejecting a longstanding challenge by rival firms and securing the company’s market dominance in Greece.

OPAP, one of Europe’s biggest betting firms, has the exclusive right to offer lotteries in debt-laden Greece until 2030 and sports betting until 2020.
