As Playtech primarily focuses on online gambling platforms. The company decided to sell its financial division Finatlo, which manages retail trading brands like Markets.com in order to simplify its business strategy.

Meanwhile, Playtech is in talks with Goher’s parent TTB Partner for a possible acquisition. Following months of negotiations, the two companies have not yet reached an agreement with deadline set as 15 July. The London-listed company’s shareholders previously rejected a £2.7 billion takeover offer by Australia’s Aristocrat Leisure.
