About Flutter

Flutter is the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator, with a market leading position in the US and across the world. Our ambition is to use our significant scale and our challenger attitude to change our industry for the better. By Changing the Game, we believe we can deliver long-term growth while promoting a positive, sustainable future for all our partners. We are well-placed to do so through the distinctive, global advantages of the Flutter Edge, which gives our brands access to group-wide benefits to stay ahead of the competition, as well as our clear vision for sustainability through our Positive Impact Plan.

On May 31 2024 Flutter moved its primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange. With a greater proportion of our future profits expected to be generated in the US, and given FanDuel’s #1 position in that market, we believe a US primary listing is the natural home for the Group.
