Spectrum Gaming Group’s 2022 report, which sits at the heart of the long-running dispute between the major games suppliers, has been unsealed as part of Evolution’s legal case against Black Cube.
Black Cube, an intelligence firm hired by Playtech in 2020 to look into alleged illegal behaviour at its rival Evolution, released a divisive report into Evolution’s actions. Evolution denied and refuted much of its findings.
Evolution then commissioned Spectrum Gaming Group to produce a report on its actions and the validity of the Black Cube report. Produced in 2022, the report has long been subject to confidentiality despite Evolution claiming the report exonerated the company.
Playtech on Wednesday published a statement highlighting what it claimed were compliance failures at Evolution, written into the Spectrum report.
Within the report, Spectrum alleged “concerns around the availability of Evolution’s games in certain prohibited markets, the regulatory implications of its practices, and the lack of proactive monitoring of its customers”.
However the report confirms that Spectrum did not believe Evolution had engaged in any illegal practices.
iGB is publishing the full 69-page report, which is accessible to registered users of the New Jersey court system, below for anyone to read.
A news analysis outlining the report’s most prominent points will follow.
Spectrum Gaming Group 于2022年发布的报告，长期处于主要游戏供应商之间旷日持久争议的核心，现已作为 Evolution 针对 Black Cube 的法律诉讼的一部分被解封。
Black Cube 是一家情报公司，于2020年受 Playtech 聘请，调查其竞争对手 Evolution 涉嫌的非法行为，并发布了一份针对 Evolution 行为的争议性报告。Evolution 否认并驳斥了其中的大部分调查结果。
随后，Evolution 委托 Spectrum Gaming Group 就其行为以及 Black Cube 报告的有效性撰写一份报告。该报告制作于2022年，尽管 Evolution 声称该报告证明公司清白，但长期以来一直处于保密状态。
Playtech 于周三 发布声明，重点指出了其声称的 Evolution 合规失误，这些内容被写入 Spectrum 报告中。
在报告中，Spectrum 指出“对 Evolution 游戏在某些被禁市场的可用性、其做法的监管影响，以及对其客户缺乏主动监控的担忧”。
然而，报告证实 Spectrum 并不认为 Evolution 参与了任何非法行为。
