Two of the biggest B2B firms in the gambling sector are at each other\u2019s throats as Evolution and Playtech trade accusations of smear campaigns and illicit activity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stockholm-listed Evolution AB <\/strong>published a statement revealing that Playtech<\/strong> hired Black Cube<\/strong>, an Israeli private intelligence company which bills itself as specialising \u2018in high stake disputes\u2019. Playtech subsequently acknowledged that it had commissioned a private investigation into its competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Cube published the report earlier this year claiming that it had uncovered evidence of Evolution illegally operating in China, Iran and Sudan, where gambling is highly illegal, through an investigation between 2021 and 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This followed allegations of misconduct including black and grey market activities which first emerged in 2021, with law firm Calcagni & Kanefsky LLP filing a suit in New Jerseyon behalf of an \u2018unnamed competitor\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolution claims that Black Cube identified Playtech as its client after the New Jersey Superior Court ordered the firm to name who commissioned the report. Court documents confirmed that Black Cube provided the name of its client. In the wake of that confidential disclosure, Evolution issued its statement revealing Playtech as the client in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough Playtech has finally been identified after years of trying to keep its involvement in this smear campaign a secret, Black Cube continues to evade the Court\u2019s discovery orders by withholding relevant information,\u201d Evolution\u2019s statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolution further alleges that Playtech commissioned Black Cube back in December 2020, paying the investigative firm \u00a31.8m ($2.3m) to conduct the report and subsequently leak conclusions to the media, with Bloomberg the first to cover the allegations of unlicensed activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolution published a statement on the \u201cunmasking of Playtech\u201d and its smear campaign, noting: \u201c It is deeply disturbing to learn that one of our competitors has gone to such extraordinary lengths to damage our business and reputation by hiring Black Cube and paying them over 1.8 million GBP to fabricate a report they knew would have extremely harmful repercussions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playtech is not taking Evolution\u2019s accusations lying down, however\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playtech hits back<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to Evolution\u2019s allegations quickly, Playtech has not denied that it commissioned a report, stating that it \u2018stands by\u2019 its decision to do so and maintaining the report\u2019s conclusion that Evolution \u201cpractices undermine lawful and compliant gambling operations\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has not, however, stated whether or not the report it commissioned was specifically conducted by Black Cube, instead confirming that an \u2018independent business intelligence firm\u2019 carried out the investigation based on concerns raised by operators, suppliers and regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuch conduct damages trust in the credibility of the entire industry and also ultimately impacts government tax collection,\u201d Playtech\u2019s statement read, accusing Evolution of conduct with wider implications for the gambling industry at a time when tax revenue is high on everyone\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement continued: \u201cEvolution continues to seek to avoid legitimate scrutiny rather than address longstanding questions about its conduct, including its decision to supply operators in illegal markets and to support unlicensed operators in regulated markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Playtech and Evolution seem more than prepared to meet each other in the courtroom, and all the evidence suggests that a legal showdown between the two is on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolution\u2019s statement explained that the firm intends to \u2018continue to hold Black Cube, Playtech, and all the other players in this defamatory scheme responsible for their misconduct\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are confident in our legal position and look forward to finally holding Playtech and its accomplices to account for the significant harm they have caused,\u201d the company boldly concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolution\u2019s confidence in legal success comes from the fact that it has secured some favourable outcomes already from its suits against Calcagni & Kanefsky LLP<\/strong> and the-then-unnamed Playtech initiated in December 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) <\/strong>stated in February 2024 that it was unable to substantiate the claims made in the report while a September 2025 ruling gave Evolution confidence that the DGE views the Black Cube report as \u2018objectively baseless\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playtech appears unfazed, however, and its response appears to be in the vein of \u2018bring it on\u2019 \u2013 though the firm has not used these words verbatim. The company concluded its own statement by declaring that it welcomes court examination of the Black Cube report and its findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as Evolution is confident that it will be able to prove that the Black Cube report was defamatory in court, Playtech declared that it is \u201cconfident that these proceedings will confirm the credibility and legitimacy of the investigation and the importance of the issues it seeks to address\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revelation of Playtech\u2019s role Black Cube\u2019s Evolution report has already had some negative consequences on the firm. Since the \u201cunmasking\u201d, Playtech\u2019s share price has tumbled nearly 25%, plunging to 258p as investors reacted sharply to the revelations. The sell-off erased roughly \u00a3300m ($385m)  in shareholder value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes amid a refocusing of the company\u2019s efforts, with it transitioning to becoming a solely B2B enterprise in 2025, and after putting to bed another legal dispute, this one involving Mexican firm Caliente<\/strong> regarding the duo\u2019s joint venture, Caliplay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playtech\u2019s actions have been lambasted by some industry observers. Ironically, while Playtech accuses Evolution of unlicensed activity bringing the industry into disrepute, this same criticism has now levied against the LSE company for commissioning the Black Cube probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe online gambling industry does not need any more help to make itself look dishonest and rather smelly,\u201d read an assessment made by Regulus Partners, a strategic advisory business with interests in the gambling space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis latest revelation is simply grist to the mill that the industry as a whole cannot really be trusted to do the right thing even though the majority of operators and suppliers are decent companies staffed by decent people trying to provide a decent product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn industry that can only thrive with its social contract intact simply cannot behave like this \u2013 it is worse than tone-deaf from a corporate perspective, it is self-defeating for the whole industry, which Playtech\u2019s clients are also no doubt reflecting on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A win against Evolution in the courts may be of even greater significance to Playtech given these circumstances, should the duo\u2019s war of words escalate into a battle of legal briefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
