Entain has officially opened its newly refurbished offices in Gibraltar, marking a £7.5m ($9.94m) investment in its operational base on the Rock.
The project, which includes a new ten-year lease, has been positioned by the operator as a demonstration of its long-term commitment to the jurisdiction. Gibraltar remains a key hub for Entain, which is the territory’s largest private sector employer.
The upgraded workspace features approximately 800 workstations alongside a range of modern facilities, including meeting rooms, collaborative spaces, terraces and staff amenities. The design emphasises open-plan layouts, natural light and flexible working environments.
Company representatives indicated that the refurbishment aligns with Entain’s long-term strategy, reinforcing its presence in Gibraltar at a time when the wider gaming industry faces regulatory and fiscal challenges.
Local officials also highlighted the significance of the opening, noting both the economic contribution of the gambling sector and the importance of maintaining a stable business environment.
The investment comes at an interesting time for the sector. Entain has previously indicated it will absorb recent increases in gaming duties, and its full-year 2025 results included a significant impairment linked to UK online gambling tax rises.
Against that backdrop, the company's long-term commitment to Gibraltar has been interpreted as a positive signal for the territory's gaming industry.
The development also sits alongside other notable activity connected to both Entain and Gibraltar's gambling sector. Earlier this month, Gibraltar passed a new Gambling Bill aimed at modernising its regulatory framework and reducing reliance on the UK market.
Separately, Entain extended its virtual sports partnership with Inspired Entertainment ahead of this summer's football World Cup.
Gibraltar’s gambling sector generates a significant share of local economic activity, with a large proportion of revenues historically linked to the UK market
