“I’ve continued to be really pleased,” Flutter Entertainment CEO Peter Jackson said at the start of a 7 May first-quarter earnings call. He said he was unfazed by economic changes in the United States: “Our basic business is resilient.”
Although the first quarter of 2025 was negatively affected by March Madness in the US, Jackson was upbeat. Of FanDuel’s new, outcome-based bet pricing, he said, “the results to date have been encouraging.”
Growth of US betting handle was said to be in line with expectation. It was lower than anticipated in basketball, but the slack was being taken up by other sports and baseball trends were described as encouraging. “We had a great Super Bowl but overall US sports results were customer friendly,” the CEO added.
