In recent developments, Playtech completed the divestiture of its Snaitech and HAPPYBET businesses in 2025, marking its transition to a pure-play B2B technology provider and enabling repayment of its remaining €150 million senior secured notes, which strengthened its balance sheet and reduced debt servicing costs. The company launched multiple dedicated live casino studios with evoke plc (including Club Aurora for 888casino, William Hill and Mr Green) in April 2025, following 2024 co-branded successes like Mega Fire Blaze Roulette; secured a new long-term exclusive bingo partnership with Progress Play in March 2025; entered a revised strategic agreement with Caliente Interactive effective March 2025, acquiring a 30.8% equity stake; finalized a strategic agreement with Caliplay to expand in Mexico; advanced US growth with expansions alongside DraftKings, Hard Rock Digital, MGM Resorts and additional live studio investments in Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and changed its registered office to Sovereign House, 4 Christian Road, Douglas, Isle of Man in October 2025 while maintaining its London head office.
