Flutter Entertainment, the parent company of popular betting brands like FanDuel, has projected a remarkable 34% increase in core profits for 2025.
This surge is largely driven by the company’s expanding footprint in the U.S. market, highlighting the rapid growth of U.S. sports betting and iGaming.
Record Profits in the U.S. Market
The company expects to reach an EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) between $2.94 billion and $3.38 billion in 2025, a considerable jump from $2.36 billion in 2024.
This marks a strong upward trend for Flutter’s U.S. operations, with projections for U.S. EBITDA reaching between $1.28 billion and $1.52 billion, representing an incredible 176% year-on-year increase.
This growth is attributed to FanDuel’s dominance in the U.S. legal sports betting and iGaming sectors. FanDuel has maintained its leadership position with a 43% market share in sports betting and 26% in iGaming, making it one of the most successful sports betting brands in the U.S.
FanDuel’s Market Share: A Key Player in Flutter’s Expansion
FanDuel has managed to stay ahead of the competition with its innovative offerings and strong customer base. Here’s a breakdown of its market share:
| Market | FanDuel’s Market Share |
|---|---|
| Sports Betting | 43% |
| iGaming | 26% |
This dominance is fueling the overall success of Flutter in the U.S. and providing a solid foundation for continued growth.
Future Plans: Expansion Beyond Sports Betting
In addition to its impressive performance in the sports betting sector, Flutter has set its sights on expanding its portfolio. The company has announced plans to bid for Italy’s national lottery license, diversifying its operations and further capitalizing on the global gambling market.
Impact on the Industry
Flutter’s growth, particularly in the U.S. market, sets a strong precedent for other international gambling operators. The increasing profits are a direct result of the U.S. sports betting boom, which shows no signs of slowing down as more states legalize sports betting and online gambling platforms continue to expand their reach.
With its continued success, Flutter Entertainment is positioning itself as one of the major players in the global gambling landscape, setting the stage for even more substantial growth in the coming years.
What This Means for Bettors
For bettors, this growth means more opportunities to bet with a trusted and reputable brand. Flutter’s strong market presence in the U.S. ensures that FanDuel will continue to offer competitive odds, promotions, and betting options across sports and casino games.
Whether you’re a sports bettor looking to place wagers on your favorite teams or a casino enthusiast exploring new games, Flutter’s increasing dominance in the industry will likely bring more exciting options to the table.
Looking Ahead: The U.S. Market’s Role in Flutter’s Success
As Flutter continues to dominate the U.S. sports betting market, it will likely influence how other companies approach their expansion strategies.
With new states entering the sports betting space and Flutter looking to further diversify its operations, the company’s 2025 projections indicate that this growth story is just beginning.
