The iGaming technology giant Playtech has issued a positive trading update ahead of its official half-year results, forecasting an adjusted EBITDA of at least €90 million ($102.7 million) for the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2025.
The company attributed the strong performance to sustained momentum within its core B2B operations and a better-than-expected contribution from its key associates.
A significant driver of this success was the performance of Caliente Interactive, the Mexico-based operator in which Playtech holds a 30.8% stake.
According to the update, Caliente benefited from favorable sporting results during the second quarter and, as a result, has now paid its first dividend to Playtech under their revised strategic agreement.
This strong performance from its associate has helped bolster Playtech’s results, even as the company had previously highlighted potential headwinds in other Latin American markets, particularly Brazil and Colombia, during its May AGM update.
Despite challenges in some regions, the group has reiterated its confidence in its long-term strategy and plans to continue its investment in key growth initiatives throughout the second half of the year, with a particular focus on the US and Brazilian markets.
In its statement, iGaming technology giant Playtech noted:
Given the exciting growth opportunities ahead, the Board remains very confident in Playtech’s ability to execute on its strategy as a predominantly pure-play B2B business.
The update follows a period of significant expansion for the company in regulated markets, including its recent launch in West Virginia, its fourth US state entry.
Playtech has also recently signed major B2B partnerships with leading operators such as BetMGM, DraftKings, and Hard Rock Digital.
The company’s full interim results are scheduled to be published on September 11, 2025, and will be presented by CEO Mor Weizer and CFO Chris McGinnis in London.
