Playtech has raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to more than €300 million, according to InterGame. Strong Americas performance, supported by its Hard Rock Digital partnership, drove the increase.
The previous guidance range was €271 million to €285 million.
Hard Rock Partnership Drives Americas Performance
Playtech attributed the uplift to its first-to-market position through its partnership with Seminole Hard Rock Digital. The company said Americas performance had outperformed, supported by the Hard Rock Bet partnership.
CEO Mor Weizer described Playtech’s performance in 2026 to date as excellent. He said US performance remained strong. Mexico and Colombia also benefited from tailwinds following the Men’s FIFA World Cup.
That momentum faces growing competition. Playtech said rival suppliers are beginning to roll out their own Past Motor Racing equivalents. It expects a “more material impact” on wallet share into 2027.
UK Taxes and Brazil Risks Shape 2027 Outlook
Playtech said it is absorbing the “full impact” of the recently introduced 40% UK igaming tax rate.
The company also said it could absorb a three-month adjusted EBITDA impact from Brazil. That assessment assumes the country’s online betting and gaming market does not open before year-end.
A continued shutdown would have a “more significant impact” if Brazil’s Congress or Supreme Court ratifies the ban, Playtech said.
Weizer said 2027 performance would reflect competition from third-party PMR suppliers in the US and political and regulatory developments in Brazil. It would also reflect the first full-year impact of increased Remote Gaming Duty in the UK.
Despite those pressures, Weizer cited the “underlying strength of the business.” He said Playtech would “work towards the top end of our medium-term targets.”
