Evoke confirms closures of loss-making William Hill betting shops in the UK

Deals & M&A

Evoke has confirmed it will close William Hill retail shops that are structurally loss-making in the UK, the company said. It did not give a closure count and linked its cost-saving measures to recent UK gambling tax increases. Evoke is also reviewing strategic options and said it would not provide a 2026 financial outlook while that process continues.

The closures affect William Hill’s UK retail footprint as Evoke reviews the business following tax increases.
