Evoke who owns William Hill is considering a sale after they launched a review following Rachel Reeves Autumn Budget which made changes to hike gambling taxes.
Evoke also owns 888 and their directors are conducting a review of options “including but not limited to a potential sale of the group.”
They added there could be a sale of their assets which could be an option and the potential sale comes after the Chancellor raised taxes.
Reeves raised gambling taxes from 21% to 40% from April 2026 and there will also be a new online sports betting duty of 25%, horse racing will be exempt.
Morgan Stanley and Rothschild have been hired to oversee the review, bosses said there is “no certainty” a deal could happen.
