Playtech, the United Kingdom gambling giant, has seen its shares soar 14% after a saga with Mexican operator Cali Interactive ended. The ongoing talks and disagreements between both parties resulted in a stalemate in the deal to settle the rights to a joint venture, Caliplay. Initially, Playtech sought legal support to challenge the Mexican operator’s non-payment of fees for software and gaming licenses in a London court. In October 2023, Caliplay launched a reciprocal legal proceeding in the 46th Civil Court of Mexico City to annul its contract with Playtech.
