The debt-laden company behind William Hill is reportedly considering closing up to 200 betting shops if Rachel Reeves’s autumn budget raises taxes on the gambling sector.

Evoke, formerly known as 888, which acquired William Hill in a £2bn takeover in 2022, is drawing up plans for different scenarios before expected gambling tax increases in the budget on 26 November.

Evoke is considering shutting a number of outlets, in news first reported by the Sunday Times, which said closures could range from 120 shops to closer to 200 outlets.
