Bally’s Intralot increased its UK online growth rate in the third quarter, while completion of its takeover of evoke is delayed until 2027. The company’s nine-month results show the higher duty reduced adjusted EBITDA by about €68m; a media report said it recovered 55% of the third-quarter impact through revenue growth, marketing efficiency and cost control. The deal still requires further gambling-regulator approvals and a court hearing in Gibraltar.
Bally’s Intralot said its acquisition of evoke will not complete by year-end because further regulatory procedures remain, with their conclusion expected in the first quarter of 2027. The company reported third-quarter revenue of €286.1m, compared with €81.9m in the same quarter of 2025.
