US presence through FanDuel
A significant part of Flutter’s profile for investors is its US presence via FanDuel Group, which it identifies as a subsidiary. FanDuel is described in multiple press releases as the premier mobile gaming company in the United States and as America’s #1 Sportsbook and a leading iGaming operator. FanDuel’s portfolio includes:

Product innovation and new platforms
Flutter highlights product development as an important part of its strategy, particularly through FanDuel. Company communications describe several product and feature launches:
- FanDuel Predicts – a prediction markets platform developed with CME Group. According to Flutter’s Q3 2025 update and subsequent joint announcements, FanDuel Predicts is a standalone mobile application that offers event contracts on financial benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, commodity prices, cryptocurrencies, and economic indicators like GDP and CPI. In states where online sports betting is not yet legal and outside tribal lands, the app also offers sports outcome contracts across baseball, basketball, football, and hockey, with sports contracts withdrawn in states that later legalize online sports betting.
- Pass The Leg – described by FanDuel as a first-of-its-kind in-app feature enabling collaborative parlay betting. Customers can start or join a group build, each participant adding a leg to a shared parlay before placing individual bets using their own funds.
- FanDuel Casino Jackpots – a progressive jackpot feature in FanDuel Casino that allows players to opt in by adding a fixed amount per wager for the chance to win one of four jackpots (Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega). A later enhancement allows players to increase their contribution to raise their chance of winning a jackpot on eligible games.
- Bet Tracking on FanDuel Sports Network – an interactive viewing feature that lets fans in certain markets follow their FanDuel Sportsbook bets in real time while watching select NBA and NHL games on FanDuel Sports Network.
These initiatives illustrate Flutter’s focus on digital products that combine betting, gaming, and media experiences within regulated frameworks.
International operations
Flutter’s Q3 2025 update describes a substantial international segment alongside its US business. The company reports that its international operations include both sports betting and iGaming, with growth influenced by acquisitions such as Snai and Betnacional and by regulatory changes in markets like India. Within this segment, Flutter notes organic iGaming growth in regions such as Southeast Asia and mentions the impact of major sporting events, such as European football tournaments, on sportsbook performance.
Across its international brands, Flutter operates in multiple regulated jurisdictions, offering online sports betting and iGaming products that comply with local rules. The company’s communications emphasize scale and diversification across markets and product types.
Regulation, taxation, and governance
Flutter’s public filings and announcements show that it is subject to regulatory regimes in several countries. It files reports with the US Securities and Exchange Commission as a foreign private issuer with ordinary shares listed on the NYSE. The company also issues announcements via the London Stock Exchange’s Regulatory News Service to comply with the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, including notifications of major holdings and total voting rights.
In a November 2025 announcement, Flutter responded to changes in UK gaming taxation set out in the UK Government’s autumn budget. The company outlined expected impacts on adjusted EBITDA from increases in UK online iGaming and sports betting taxes, and it discussed potential mitigation measures such as changes in operational, promotional, and marketing spend. Flutter also commented on the potential effects of higher tax rates on the competitive landscape and on unlicensed operators.
Flutter’s SEC filings include 8-K reports on governance matters, such as the appointment of new non-executive directors to the Board. These filings describe the independence status of appointees, their external roles, and the absence of related-party arrangements, in line with US disclosure requirements.
Responsible gaming and consumer protection
Multiple FanDuel-branded announcements, issued as part of Flutter’s group communications, emphasize responsible gaming and consumer protection. For FanDuel Sportsbook and FanDuel Casino, the company describes in-app tools that allow customers to set time, deposit, and wager limits, use personalized dashboards to view play and spending patterns, and access self-exclusion options. FanDuel also references educational resources, betting guides, and dedicated responsible gaming sites with information on support services.
For FanDuel Predicts, Flutter and CME Group state that the app will extend FanDuel’s consumer protection framework, including tools to manage exposure, track spending, and learn about prediction markets. FanDuel also notes partnerships with mental health and behavioral health providers in connection with some products, and references joint efforts with media partners to promote responsible gaming messages.
Media and content integration
Flutter’s strategy includes media and content offerings that complement its betting and gaming products. FanDuel operates FanDuel TV, a linear cable television network, and FanDuel TV+, an over-the-top streaming platform. Through a partnership with Main Street Sports Group, FanDuel Sports Network holds local sports media rights and provides regional sports broadcasts for select MLB, NBA, and NHL teams.
Within these media channels, Flutter and its partners have introduced features such as expanded on-screen odds integrations and interactive bet tracking. They also distribute live events such as EuroLeague Basketball and PDC Darts and syndicated content that uses FanDuel odds to provide betting insights. These media activities are intended to deepen engagement with sports fans who are also users of Flutter’s betting and gaming products.
Corporate positioning
In its own corporate materials, Flutter describes itself as having a market leading position in online sports betting and iGaming in the US and globally. The company states that it aims to “change the game” in its industry by combining scale, technology, and a portfolio of brands, while pursuing sustainability objectives through its Positive Impact Plan. Investors can track Flutter’s regulatory disclosures through SEC filings, RNS announcements, and periodic financial updates that include metrics such as average monthly players and segment-level performance.
