Playtech released its first-half 2026 trading update on 9 July, outlining financial projections and market performance across the Americas and Europe. The B2B gaming technology provider highlighted its ongoing collaboration with Hard Rock Digital as a primary growth driver.
The company projects H1 adjusted EBITDA exceeding €155m and full-year adjusted EBITDA of at least €270m, figures the firm states sit above current analyst consensus. H2 profitability is expected to decline relative to the first half. This reduction stems from a normalized revenue level with Hard Rock Digital and the implementation of a 40% Remote Gaming Duty in the UK, which took effect in April.
Market Performance and Strategic Developments
Revenue growth accelerated through May and June, with strong results recorded in the US, Mexico, Colombia, and selected European jurisdictions. CEO Mor Weizer stated, "We achieved an excellent performance in the first half of 2026," while noting that medium-term targets remain on track. The supplier confirmed that interim results will be published in the coming weeks.
Playtech also secured agreements with FanDuel for online poker operations and with the Solaya Group for UK online bingo services. The company continues to expand its presence in regulated gaming territories while tracking progress against established medium-term objectives. The information comes from Playtech's official H1 trading statement.
