FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Playtech plc

("Playtech" or the "Company")

Return of approximately €1.8 billion to shareholders

Further to the announcement earlier today regarding the completion of the sale of Snaitech S.p.A. by Playtech's group, Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) is pleased to announce a special dividend of €5.73 per ordinary share (the "Special Dividend").

The Special Dividend will be paid on 12 June 2025 to shareholders who appear on the register on 9 May 2025 (the "Record Date"). The Company's ordinary shares will be marked as ex-dividend on 8 May 2025.

Shareholders should note that the default payment currency is Euro, though shareholders will be entitled to elect to have their Special Dividend paid in Sterling. The last day for currency elections in respect of the Special Dividend to be registered is 27 May 2025. For uncertificated shareholders, currency elections should be submitted via CREST in the usual manner. Certificated shareholders should either: (i) complete and return the personalised currency election form that has been, or will be, delivered (by mail or otherwise) to them; or (ii) access and download a currency election form from the Company's website at https://www.investors.playtech.com/shareholder-centre/dividend-information, and complete and return this. Completed Special Dividend currency election forms should be sent to the Company's registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY. Shareholders who wish to submit a currency election in respect of their Special Dividend should note that such election must be in respect of their full Special Dividend entitlement, and that they will not be permitted to elect for their Special Dividend to be paid in a combination of Euro and Sterling.

Sterling currency elections previously registered by shareholders in respect of dividends paid, or to be paid, by the Company will, unless changed or revoked prior to 27 May 2025, remain in place in respect of the Special Dividend (to the extent that the relevant shareholder appears on the register on the Record Date). However, the Company retains the discretion in respect of any future dividends not to offer shareholders the right to elect to receive those dividends in Sterling rather than the default currency, Euro.

The Company will announce the Sterling dividend rate in respect of the Special Dividend on 3 June 2025.
