The massive worldwide gaming and betting company Flutter just revealed its trade report for 2023, showing strong growth in the majority of its industries. But its activities in Australia faced a downturn. With an astounding 38% YoY revenue gain to £3.06 billion, Flutter’s US-facing brand, FanDuel, was the group’s top performer and its main source of income.
FanDuel has been a constant trend in the US market, accounting for 37.9% of Flutter’s total income. US sports income and casino revenue increased by 39% and 47%, respectively, on a constant currency (CC) basis. The average number of monthly players on Flutter increased by 38% to over 3.2 million.
The Q4 performance, according to Flutter CEO Peter Jackson, can be ascribed to FanDuel’s sportsbook holding a phenomenal 43% gross revenue market share in all US jurisdictions. FanDuel’s overall momentum is strong even though customer-friendly sports results are having an impact on US revenue.
UK and Ireland Growth Continues
The UK and Ireland division of Flutter had a noteworthy YoY revenue gain of 15% to £2.46 billion, with income from gaming and sports betting rising by 17% and 12%, respectively. At 3.9 million, the average monthly number of gamers grew by 5%.
With a 19% increase in revenue to £647 million in Q4 in the UK and Ireland, Flutter highlighted gains in market share due to ongoing product improvements.
The international division of Flutter announced a significant 36% YoY revenue rise to £2.29 billion, driven primarily by strong growth in gaming revenue (29% CC) and sports betting revenue (60% CC). International markets had a 31% increase in average monthly players, reaching 4.1 million.
The Australian sector presented difficulties, meanwhile, as revenue decreased 8% YoY to £1.17 billion, mirroring the trends in guided racing. In spite of this, 1.1 million average monthly players—a 2% increase—were registered by Flutter’s Australian operations.
Flutter saw a 15% increase in group revenue in Q4 2023 to £2.67 billion, with income from gaming and sports betting rising by 15% and 8%, respectively. The Q4 revenue growth to £1.14 billion was mostly driven by the US businesses, which continued to be a focus point.
Peter Jackson, the CEO of Flutter, expressed hope and emphasized the company’s fundamental strength as it moves into 2024. Gains in market share in the UK and Ireland, steady expansion elsewhere, and FanDuel’s hegemony in the US set up Flutter for long-term success.
