Chile’s competition tribunal suspends Viña del Mar casino tender
Chile’s Tribunal for the Defence of Free Competition suspended the Viña del Mar casino operating-permit tender while it reviews a challenge by Marina del Sol to the tender rules. The operator argued that the three-month start-up deadline could disadvantage entrants without existing local infrastructure; the suspension does not cover the Iquique, Pucón or Coquimbo tenders.
The suspension pauses the Viña del Mar permit award while the tribunal examines whether its conditions restrict competition.
