Story Highlights
Evoke Plc Warns of Negative Impact from UK Gaming Duty Increases

TipRanks Black Friday Sale

The latest announcement is out from 888 Holdings ( (GB:EVOK) ).

Evoke Plc has expressed concerns over the UK government’s decision to increase the Remote Gaming Duty from 21% to 40% by April 2026 and introduce a new 25% online sports betting duty from April 2027. The company believes these changes will lead to significant job losses, reduced investment in the UK market, and a shift of consumer activity to the unregulated black market, ultimately decreasing tax revenue and compromising player protection. Evoke plans to mitigate the financial impact through cost-saving measures and anticipates further market consolidation as smaller operators may exit due to rising costs.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:EVOK) stock is a Hold with a £41.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on 888 Holdings stock, see the GB:EVOK Stock Forecast page.
