Hellenic Competition Commission fined OPAP €24.56 million for tying and non-compete practices
Company: OPAP S.A.
Summary
HCC Decision 787/2022 found, by majority, that OPAP infringed Greek and EU competition law through non-compete and tying provisions imposed through its 2017 agency agreement in ancillary bill-payment and telecommunications-product services during 2017–2021. The HCC ordered the conduct to cease and imposed a €24,562,249.05 fine. OPAP publicly denied the findings and announced an appeal, so this record is marked unresolved rather than describing the regulator decision as finally adjudicated.
