William Hill has also entered into 5-year software license agreement for poker and casino with Playtech, with provision to enter other product areas at later stage.
The new entity being created with combination of operations between William Hill and Playtech would be called William Hill Online, under control of William Hill and operated as a subsidiary.
William Hill Online is expected to generate net revenue of £190m for the year ending 31 December on pro forma basis. Playtech is getting 29% stake from William Hill in the new entity with an option to William Hill of acquiring its shareholding in 4 to 6 years.
William Hill has so far posted 9% uplift in total gross wins. Gross wins is the difference between amount won by the company and that lost by the punters. 7% increase in gross win boosted overall performance.
