Competition Tribunal orders Google to restore Lottoland's access to advertising services
has issued an interim order directing Google to permit Lotto land to access its advertising services known as “ Google Ads” for now, according to a statement from the Competition Tribunal.
The order from the Tribunal applies for a six-month period from its date or the conclusion of a hearing into the prohibited practices alleged by Lottoland, whichever is the first.search, with Google Ireland acting as the service provider for Google Ads in South Africa. This resulting in financial harm and the distortion of competition in the market that Lottoland operates in, to the detriment of consumers.
“Furthermore, based on the seven months in which Google supplied its Google Ads to Lottoland, Lottoland estimates that it has, as a result of Google's refusal to supply, suffered a significant reduction in revenue, which is ongoing.”
