Evoke has identified two “material uncertainties” around its ability to continue as a going concern as its proposed £243m [$328m] acquisition by Bally’s Intralot progresses, with the deal still on track to complete in Q4 this year or Q1 of 2027.

The group, which counts William Hill and 888 among its core brands, made the revelation in its H1 results announcement. Published today (12 August), the figures revealed a relatively flat performance in the six months to the end of June, with revenue and net loss level year-on-year.

In terms of uncertainties, both relate to the takeover agreement. Bally’s Intralot announced in June that it had agreed an all-share deal to acquire evoke, with the latter saying the combination would create a “global gaming and lottery champion”.
