Flutter Entertainment Plc is eyeing possible acquisitions beyond its main markets of the US, UK and Ireland this year, according to the head of its international division, an indication that the global gambling industry may consolidate further.
The gambling giant is looking for deals in markets in which it already operates, including India, Italy, Brazil and Canada, Flutter International Chief Executive Officer Dan Taylor said in an interview. It is also considering acquisitions in Africa, Latin America and eastern European countries it isn’t present in, he said.
“We would be hopeful to get something done this year,” Taylor said. “We continue to work on things and we have a very strong pipeline of things that are deliverable in 2023 and beyond.”
