Last week, FanDuel further bolstered its management team with a new hire from within the Flutter Entertainment organisation.
Commenting on a post on LinkedIn, Flutter CEO Peter Jackson told Noifeld: “Welcome to NYC and the biggest opportunity in casino in the world. I can’t wait to see what you can do!”
In its Q1 2022 financial results, FanDuel was shown to be the most significant driver of growth at Flutter Entertainment, as the brand claimed as much as 37% market share for online sports betting and 20% for iGaming across US markets during the quarter.
This helped Flutter’s US revenue climb by 45% year-on-year to $574m, allowing the business to offset revenue reductions in more mature jurisdictions while taking the group’s overall revenue up by 6% on a constant currency basis to £1.57bn.
