In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, SBC’s Media Manager Charlie Horner is joined by SBC’s Editor-at-Large Ted Menmuir and Canadian Gaming Business/SBC Americas Senior Journalist Tom Nightingale. Together, the trio analyse Flutter Entertainment’s Q2 financial results and explore its future outlook amid a challenging global gaming market.

The discussion also delves into the company’s ambitious full-year guidance increase, with a particular focus on its reliance on FanDuel’s growth in the US.

They examine rising tax liabilities in markets such as Illinois, the strategic responses being considered, and the influence of Fox Corporation and Boyd Gaming’s stakes on FanDuel’s valuation.

Finally, the episode considers the wider implications for the iGaming industry should Flutter, the sector’s leading PLC, encounter significant setbacks.
