Highly doubt evoke would risk their gambling license for not paying out. Shouldn’t really be bothering us here .

Gut feeling were in for some good news next week.

Bookmaker Entain said on Thursday that it had delivered a "strong" full-year performance in 2025, with underlying earnings coming in ahead of expectations.

Thanks for the reply! Just curious, what do you predict will happen to the stock from here?

CJ I completely agree with you . If you don’t mind me asking whats your average? I’m around the 50p mark.

Look at all the top brass average holdings 50p-75p who’s getting a profit at 30p?

Good luck all! My average is pretty much as Per Widerström so we need 100% tomorrow ! Still have faith in the team .

WarrenB completely agree

Can’t believe this time a year ago I would be so happy to see 30p!!

The combination of a big price jump and ~3× higher-than-normal volume is a classic short-covering signature.

Looks like going to hear good news next week!

All earnings from UK will have to pay point of consumption tax doesn’t matter where the firm is based .

Widerström, CEO of evoke, commented:

"The decision today by the UK government to substantially raise taxes is highly damaging for the economy and consumers. As an industry, we have consistently warned of the significant impact on jobs, investment in the UK, and player protection that these changes would have, yet sadly the Government has chosen not to listen. These proposals are ill-thought-through, counterproductive, and highly damaging. It is clear these changes will significantly harm businesses, employees, and customers.

We will begin immediately on executing our mitigation plans, which involve a significant reduction in investment into the UK, and, very regrettably, the likely need for thousands of jobs to be cut up and down the country. As a result of the actions now required, these tax changes will reduce the overall level of tax the regulated industry pays in the UK, and more importantly it will have a significant negative impact on player protection as these changes will incentivise activity moving to the illegal and dangerous black-market."

Yeah, this is the best-case scenario. Gordon Brown won’t be jumping for joy, but it keeps shops open—and maybe even earns a nod from Rupert Murdoch

My prediction for today

Remote gaming duty: ~21% → 25%

Machine games duty: ~20% → 25%

General betting duty: unchanged (~15%)

Q3 2025, Evoke international division — which includes Italy, Denmark, Romania, Spain, etc. accounted for 33.5% of group revenue.
