Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In September 2024 the Playtech Group announced that it had reached an agreement on the terms of its strategic agreement with Caliplay. The revised arrangements completed on 31 March 2025. Under the old arrangements, the Company did not have a direct contract with Caliplay, although cashflows from Caliplay ended up in the Company through intercompany agreements. However, under the revised arrangements effective on 31 March 2025, the Company has now entered into a direct agreement with Caliente Interactive Inc.”
- “On 21 October 2025, Evolution AB publicly identified Playtech Software Limited as the commissioning party behind a 2021 report prepared by Black Cube, which is the subject of ongoing legal proceedings in the United States. Evolution has neither instituted legal proceedings against nor served Playtech Software Limited. Playtech Software Limited disputes all allegations. This matter is considered a non-adjusting post balance sheet event and at present there is no indication as to the impact, if any, on Playtech Software Limited and the wider Playtech Group.”
