Playtech has claimed that the publication of the Spectrum report supports key findings from the Black Cube investigation at the centre of an ongoing legal dispute involving Evolution.
In a regulatory announcement, Playtech has said the report, which was commissioned by Evolution from Spectrum Gaming Group to assess Black Cube's investigation, corroborated several of the investigation's conclusions rather than disproving them.
According to Playtech, the report supports concerns relating to the availability of Evolution's games in certain prohibited jurisdictions, the regulatory implications of those activities and the company's oversight of customer compliance.
The supplier also says Spectrum was unable to reach conclusions on several issues because Evolution did not provide all of the information requested during the review. Playtech said this included data relating to gaming activity and revenue in jurisdictions such as Iran, Syria and Sudan, limiting Spectrum's ability to complete parts of its assessment.
Playtech further highlighted sections of the report stating that Evolution does not take proactive steps to verify whether customer-facing operators comply with contractual requirements. It argued that these findings raise outstanding compliance questions that remain to be addressed through the ongoing legal proceedings.
The Spectrum Report became publicly available after being filed by Black Cube in US litigation. Playtech said Evolution had previously resisted making the document public, citing concerns over commercially sensitive information.
