Playtech CEO Mor Weizer said he couldn’t be sure if he would back another takeover attempt after supporting one last year, as the gambling technology business reported a profit increase despite UK revenue slowing.

The gambling tech provider seemed on course to be sold last year when Weizer threw his weight behind a proposal from Asian investment group TTB.

“I was always focused on Playtech and its growth,” he said. “At a certain point in time I did support a bid because I felt it was what shareholders wanted. But I am fully committed to the strategy of the business.”
