London Stock Exchange listed igaming supplier Playtech is alleged to have been involved in a smear campaign targeting rival Evolution, according to a statement released by Evolution on October 21.
The revelation comes after years of litigation in the US, which has uncovered that Playtech Software Limited, a subsidiary of Playtech Plc, paid more than £1.8 million (US$2.4 million)
to private intelligence firm Black Cube to produce a 2021 report that contained false claims against Evolution.
The report, which was later determined by two US regulators and the New Jersey Superior Court to be defamatory, was initially submitted to authorities by New York law firm Calcagni & Kanefsky and leaked to the media.
