Ross Hendry, CARE's CEO, expressed disappointment that top tier clubs are continuing to partner with big betting. Seven clubs have chosen to partner with a gambling company for their main shirt sponsor, and two clubs will display a gambling company on their shirt sleeve only. Two years ago, Flutter paid £1.62bn to buy the Milan-based online gaming group Sisal, which also has a large chain of betting shops and runs regulated lotteries in Italy, Morocco and Turkey, from the private equity group CVC Capital Partners.Almost half the clubs in the Premier League will display gambling sponsorship on their shirts in the coming season, despite public concern about betting ads in sport.Īnalysis by CARE shows nine out of twenty clubs have struck a deal with betting companies that requires a logo to appear on the front or the sleeve of match-day shirts. In connection with the anticipated cancellation of its delisting in Dublin the European Stoxx has moved to remove Flutter from its index from 18 December. “Flutter believes that it is appropriate to maintain just two listings to minimise regulatory complexities,” the company said.

Flutter said it had notified Euronext in Dublin of its intention to cancel its secondary listing.

From the point of the US listing, Flutter will also trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: ‘FLUT’.”įlutter, which also owns the Sky Bet and PokerStars brands, owns FanDuel in the US. “Flutter’s shares will continue to trade on the LSE under its existing ticker symbol ‘FLTR’. “Flutter’s premium listing on the London Stock Exchange and inclusion in the FTSE 100 index will not be affected by the addition of this US listing,” the company said in a stock market announcement on Friday. The group is forecast to generate almost 40% of its revenues from the US market this year.
