""During Q4 we made good progress against our strategic plans, delivering our best quarter of the year and demonstrating the underlying momentum in the business. "Our focus on core markets continued to drive our profitable growth, with Italy and Denmark both delivering record quarterly revenues in Q4. This positive momentum has continued into 2026 with a strong start to the year with good growth across all divisions.""
"It was in November when the UK government announced several changes to gambling taxes, including an increase in remote gaming duty which is to rise from 21 to 40 percent, beginning in April 2026. A creation of a new 25% general betting duty for online gambling has been created too, but this won't come to fruition until April 2027. When this was announced, several gambling companies made their feelings known, including Flutter which acknowledged the " very significant impact on the overall market.""
Evoke Plc reported Q4 revenue of £464 million, its strongest quarter, driven by record performance in Italy and Denmark and a 7% quarter-on-quarter increase. Q4 revenue was down 3% year-on-year due to a strong comparative period with operator-friendly sporting results last year. The company forecasts full-year 2025 revenue around £1,786 million, a 2% increase year-over-year. The UK government announced gambling tax changes including remote gaming duty rising from 21% to 40% from April 2026 and a new 25% general betting duty from April 2027. The CEO described the Budget as a "significant blow to both evoke and the wider regulated industry."
