|
Online gaming partners William Hill and Playtech have announced an “amicable resolution” to their recent dispute over joint venture William Hill Online.
In February this year William Hill took out an injunction against iPoker owner Playtech preventing it from making “significant amendments” to their deal at a time when news reports suggested Playtech was in talks with Hill’s British bookmaking rival, Ladbrokes.
According to the statement issued on behalf of both parties, changes to the original agreement have been made which “grant greater flexibility to their respective operations… which may open up further commercial opportunities for the parties.”
As a result both parties will ask the for the injunction to be discharged in court next week.
