William Hill plc -- Moody's assigns Ba1 rating to William Hill's new GBP350 million senior notes
Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today assigned a Ba1 rating to William Hill plc's ("William Hill") proposed new GBP350 million senior unsecured notes due 2026. The company's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR"), Ba1-PD Probability of Default Rating, and Ba1 rating on existing notes remain unchanged.

They're In The Hole! Sportsbooks Lose Big On Tiger's Masters Win
Tiger Woods threw up his arms and joined a jubilant Masters crowd in celebrating his win Sunday, easing 14 years of injury- and scandal-related frustration since his last win at Augusta. Bettors liked Woods and sportsbooks lost big. Last Tuesday, a bettor walked into the William Hill PL/ADR (OTC: WIMHY) sportsbook at the SLS Casino in Las Vegas and put $85,000 down on an improbable Woods comeback culminating in a Masters win, at 14-1 odds.

U.K. Gambling’s Gibraltar Outpost Braces for Brexit Border Woes
Betting companies with operations in Gibraltar on Spain’s southern flank worry Madrid will restrict land access to the tiny British territory when the U.K. leaves the European Union. GVC Holdings Plc and William Hill Plc have more than 1,400 employees on the rocky peninsula, which has long been an international betting hub because it had a legal framework for gambling before the U.K. mainland and more favorable taxes. Competing claims over the territory have caused tension between Spain and Britain for three centuries.

William Hill plunges into £720m loss after government crackdown on betting machines
William Hill has plunged into the red and blamed the fallout from the anticipated introduction of a £2 maximum stake on fixed odds betting terminals (FOBT) next month. The company said the huge loss was largely due to an exceptional charge of £883m linked to the government’s decision to reduce the maximum stake on FOBTs from £100 to £2. The government announced plans to tighten the rules around the betting machines, which have been dubbed the “crack cocaine of gambling”, last year in a bid to curb gambling problems.

Reuters•5 months agoWilliam Hill set to revamp retail business as 2018 profit falls
The company had cut its profit forecast in November due to tightening regulations at home, particularly on lucrative fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs), and warned of more losses in the United States. William Hill said 2018 adjusted operating profit from continuing operations would be 234 million pounds, slightly higher than company-supplied analyst estimates of 232.2 million pounds. Profit was lower in its retail business due to tough high-street conditions and the offering would be remodelled in 2019 as Chief Executive Officer Philip Bowcock looks to make the firm a "digitally-led international business", the company said.
