A year of challenges and changes awaits, and while Flutter Entertainment is just as aware of what lies ahead of it in 2026 the global gaming giant’s vast international presence is a continuing source of confidence.

Having its origins in Ireland and the UK with the merger between Paddy Power and Betfair over a decade ago, Flutter has expanded to become a global monolith by acquiring what it calls ‘gold medal’ brands across various markets.

Of the multiple countries Flutter is active in, the US is by far its biggest revenue generator. Its Q3 accounts revealed revenue of $1.37bn from its US assets, FanDuel, out of total group-wide revenue of $2.43bn in revenue.
