Playtech confirms hiring investigator to examine Evolution’s business

Playtech confirmed that its subsidiary hired an investigative company to examine concerns about Evolution’s activities in prohibited and sanctioned markets and its supply to illegal online casinos in regulated markets. Evolution said Playtech paid Black Cube more than £1.8m and plans to add Playtech to its ongoing defamation case; Playtech denies running a smear campaign and says it stands by the investigation. New Jersey’s gaming enforcement division closed its inquiry into the allegations in 2024, finding the report baseless.
