Evoke Revenue Falls 7% in Q3 Amid Retail Closures

Evoke, the owner of William Hill, 888 and Mr Green, reported a 7% year-on-year revenue decline for the third quarter of 2026, as the closure of approximately 270 UK betting shops and customer-friendly sports results affected its performance. The gambling operator generated £406 million during the three months ending September 30. On a like-for-like constant currency basis, excluding the impact of its reduced retail network, revenue fell 2%. Sports results at the beginning of the 2026/27 football season created an additional headwind of approximately one to two percentage points.
