The Black Cube Affair: £1.8M, a Spy Firm, and a Legal Battle With No Clear Winner

Playtech paid an Israeli intelligence firm to destroy Evolution's reputation. Four years, two regulatory clearances, and $14B in damages claims later — neither company's hands are entirely clean.

Ghost Capital: A Portrait of Kenneth Dart, the Reclusive Billionaire Who Owns a Quarter of EVO
No photographs. No interviews since 1993. Foam cup heir. Vulture investor. Renounced US citizenship. Now 25.44% of Evolution — and 15% of FanDuel's parent. The most powerful person in iGaming nobody talks about.

⚀ Kuriosa — The Strange & Telling Details
🎰 Crazy Time: Never Stops
The Crazy Time wheel has spun 24/7 since June 2020, hosts working in shifts. On peak evenings, over 100,000 players watch a single spin simultaneously across hundreds of different casino platforms — more concurrent viewers than most primetime TV in Sweden.
☕ The Foam Cup Connection
Kenneth Dart's fortune traces to Dart Container Corp — inventor of the polystyrene foam coffee cup. The family became the world's largest foam cup manufacturer. Dart renounced US citizenship in 1994, relocated to the Cayman Islands where he is reportedly the largest private landowner, and built Camana Bay — a full town centre — from scratch.
🕵️ Black Cube's Other Clients
Before Evolution, Black Cube gained notoriety running surveillance for Harvey Weinstein — tracking journalists and actresses investigating him. Their Evolution operation involved fake LinkedIn profiles, forged documents, hidden recordings, and selectively edited transcripts. Standard operating procedure for a firm founded by ex-Mossad and Aman operatives.
🃏 Infinite Blackjack: 99.47% RTP
With optimal basic strategy, EVO's Infinite Blackjack has a theoretical return-to-player of 99.47% — a house edge of just 53 basis points. The house always wins. It just wins very, very slowly, on enormous volume. The product is so good players keep coming back anyway.
