From Paddy Power and Betfair to FanDuel and Sky Betting & Gaming: a guide to the group, its brands and the economics behind its growth.

One group, many local brands

Flutter Entertainment plc is the listed parent behind a portfolio of betting and gaming businesses. The corporate name identifies the group; customers more often encounter brands such as Paddy Power, Betfair, FanDuel, PokerStars, Sky Bet, Sky Casino and Sky Vegas.

The group describes two divisions: FanDuel in the United States and Flutter International across its other markets. Local brands retain their identities while drawing on resources across the group.

What changed its scale?

The 2016 Paddy Power and Betfair merger combined two established businesses. Control of FanDuel in 2018 expanded the US position. The Stars Group combination in 2020 added PokerStars and Sky Betting & Gaming. More recent acquisitions extended its presence in Italy and Brazil. These events explain why a single corporate profile has to look beyond one casino or one country.
