William Hill has announced it will be exiting a host of markets next month, including pulling out of Nigeria and Kenya.
The evoke-owned bookmaker has said it will cease services in 13 markets across Latam, Asia and Africa from 2 December.
Customers will be able to access accounts and withdraw funds until 5 January 2026.
Any open bets will be settled as normal until 2 December. Any bets that are due to be settled after that date will be voided and refunded, the company has informed affected customers.
In Africa, Hills said it would be exiting Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia.
Asian exits involve Nepal and Vietnam, while the shutters will be pulled down in the Latam markets of Bolivia and Nicaragua.
The withdrawals come after the firm ceased operating in India, Botswana and Jamaica on 30 September.
Customers in those markets will be able to withdraw funds until 31 December.
As per evoke’s 2024 annual report, “dotcom markets” made up just 4% of Q4 2024 group revenue.
On an analysed basis it means around £70m of the group’s £1.75bn of revenue generated in 2024 was down to these jurisdictions.
Evoke, which also runs the 888 brands and Mr Green, focuses on two core divisions: The UK and Ireland and International.
International includes core markets of Spain, Italy, Denmark and Romania.
As per evoke’s Q3 2025 trading update, group revenue was up 5% to £435.4m. There was no mention of dotcom markets in the earnings report.
UK and Ireland online revenue rose 1% year on year to £163,3m, while International revenue jumped 8% to £150.4m.
An evoke spokesperson said: “On a periodic basis, we review the products we provide in markets across the world.
“In this instance, we have made the decision to close the William Hill, Mr Green and 888 brands in a selection of markets across Africa and Asia.
“Customers can still enjoy evoke’s brand 888Africa across Africa, which is not affected and continues to perform positively, and via 888.com in other markets.”
