Parent Evoke plc
Evoke plc (formerly 888 Holdings). Sister to William Hill inside the same listed parent.
888 launched as one of the first online casinos in 1997. 888sport was added in 2008. The group bought William Hill International in 2022 and rebranded to Evoke. Financial stress and a 2026 sale process to Bally's Intralot hang over the parent.
