Janice Duncan has been appointed Group Finance Director at Evoke, having most recently served as Group CFO at Casumo.
Duncan announced the move on LinkedIn, stating: “I'm excited to join Evoke at such an important time in its journey. The opportunity to work with talented teams, drive strategic initiatives and help shape the next phase is one I am looking forward to with great enthusiasm.
“I am excited for what lies ahead and eager to contribute to the continued success of the business and our people.”
Duncan also touched upon her near-three-year stint at Casumo, where she noted the opportunity to work alongside strong teams, navigate complex challenges and contribute to meaningful growth and transformation.
Prior to Casumo, Duncan held the position of CFO at Rank Interactive from January 2021 to May 2023.
Before that, she also spent three years at William Hill in a series of senior roles, including Finance Director for UK Online and Director of Online Corporate Governance and Business Change.
Her earlier career in the gambling sector includes nearly five years at Coral, where she served in financial planning and analysis roles within the Gala Coral Interactive division.
Duncan's broader financial career spans over two decades, with previous positions at RBS Insurance, the Royal Bank of Scotland and National Australia Group, giving her a strong foundation across both the financial services and online gambling industries.
The newest appointment comes during a particularly active period for Evoke. The company is currently navigating a strategic review prompted by significant UK gambling duty increases announced in November 2025, and has been in discussions with Bally's Intralot regarding a potential acquisition offer valued at £0.50 ($0.67) per share.
Duncan's arrival also follows the recent departure of Managing Director Simon Ravn, who left Evoke earlier this year to become CEO of Prime Entertainment.
Evoke posted adjusted EBITDA of £356.2m in FY25 – a 14% year-on-year increase – though the group also recorded a statutory loss after tax of £549.1m, largely due to non-cash impairment charges
