Evoke has appointed Casumo CFO Janice Duncan as the company’s new group finance director.

Duncan joins the William Hill, 888 and Mr Green parent company after amassing significant experience in similar roles within the industry.  

Most recently, she served as group CFO at Casumo for almost three years between May 2023 and March 2026.  

Duncan formed part of a new look C-suite under Casumo boss Francesco Postiglione as he looked to shakeup the online business.

Former Napoleon Sports & Casino COO Tim De Borle was brought in as COO, while ex-Casimba Gaming head Kerry Swainson was named chief compliance officer.

Prior to that, Duncan worked as CFO for Rank Interactive from January 2021 through to May 2023.  

The latest role marks her return to the evoke umbrella following a previous three-year stint with William Hill.  

She initially joined Hills as head of business planning in January 2018, before taking on the role of director of online corporate governance and business change five months later.

She would eventually hold the title of finance director for UK online between April 2019 and December 2020 before departing for Rank Interactive. 

Duncan also has a spell with Coral under her belt, working for the Entain subsidiary from March 2013 to December 2017.  

Her final role with the business was as head of financial planning and analysis for Gala Coral Interactive from October 2015 to December 2017.  

Taking to LinkedIn to announce her appointment, Duncan wrote: “I’m delighted to share that I have joined evoke as group finance director. 

“I want to express my gratitude to the team at Casumo. Over the last three years, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside exceptional people, navigate complex challenges and contribute to meaningful growth and transformation.  

“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’s appointment coincides with evoke exploring the possibility of a sale to Bally’s Intralot.  

Both parties agreed to extend the deadline to complete a potential £225m deal until from 18 May to 8 June.  

The London-listed operator confirmed the closure of 270 shops during its full-year 2025 results published in April, as it continues to feel the effect of the tax increases implemented in the UK market.
