William Hill and takeover partner GVC Holdings said that any deal is contingent upon certain detailed terms and conditions.

The proposed offer is about 20 percent higher than a previous one made last month. This takeover proposal would beworth 61.1p per share to Sportingbet's shareholders, compared with the previous one worth 52.2p a share.

A formal offer would be recommended to Sportingbet’s shareholders.
