Response to statement by Evolution AB

Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) ("Playtech" or the "Company") notes the statement
made today by Evolution AB ("Evolution"), announcing that it has requested
permission from the Superior Court of New Jersey to add Playtech to its
ongoing legal case. Playtech has been awaiting this development since
Evolution's public statement on 21 October 2025 and considers Evolution's
claims to be baseless and without merit.

As previously announced, Playtech stands by both the decision to commission
the report at the centre of Evolution's claims, and the validity of its
findings. Evolution continues to seek to avoid legitimate scrutiny rather than
addressing longstanding questions about its own conduct, including its
decision to supply operators in both illegal and sanctioned markets and to
support unlicensed operators in regulated markets.

Playtech welcomes court and regulatory examination of the report and its
findings and, importantly, the opportunity to be involved in the discovery
process including to question Evolution's employees, executives and officers
in court. The Company is very confident based on evidence it has, including
recent additional evidence, that these proceedings will confirm the
credibility and legitimacy of the report and the importance of the issues it
seeks to address.

Playtech will defend itself vigorously against Evolution's claims and will
continue to act in the best interests of industry operators, suppliers and
regulators as well as its shareholders.
