SYDNEY, June 20 (Reuters) - Australia's competition watchdog said on Tuesday it would let the country's top sports betting company, Tabcorp Holdings Ltd (TAH), buy lottery owner Tatts Group Ltd (TTS) for A$6.15 billion ($4.67 billion).
A judge presiding over the Australian Competition Tribunal, John Middleton, said in a written summary of his ruling that he was "satisfied that the proposed merger is likely to result in substantial public benefits".
He said the only condition he would impose on the proposed deal would be that Tabcorp proceed with a planned sale of a gambling services business.
