William Hill and 888 owner Evoke has flagged going-concern risks tied to its pending £243m takeover by Bally’s Intralot, even as the deal stays on schedule for a Q4 2026 or Q1 2027 close.
TPG Credit is reportedly in talks to provide up to £800 million in financing to support Bally’s Intralot’s proposed takeover of Evoke — the London-listed company behind William Hill, 888casino, and Mr Green — ahead of a June 8 deadline.
Evoke PLC confirmed it is closing approximately 270 William Hill betting shops after UK remote gaming duty was nearly doubled. The fallout carries an unmistakable warning for US states debating aggressive gambling tax hikes.
