Ravin' Roberts: Flutterin' Good Times: A Deep Dive into Flutter Entertainment's Q1 Performance in the US Market
Flutter's Q1 earnings surge to a staggering $3.7 billion, largely fueled by FanDuel's contributions.
Get ready to roll (the dice), baby! Flutter Entertainment, a leading name in online gaming and sports betting, is on a winning streak — and it all started in the US. Here's the spicy juice on FanDuel's impressive Q1 2025 results!
The Down 'n' Dirty: The Bucks (and then some)
You bet your boots on it: total US revenue for the past quarter skyrocketed to almost $1.7 billion, an 18% increase year-over-year. Despite a less-than-ideal March Madness season, FanDuel continued to shine — with close to $1.2 billion in online sports betting revenue alone [1][3]. And let's not forget that iGaming revenue jumped a whopping 32% to reach $472 million [1][2]. It's like playing the backup slot machine and hitting the progressive jackpot!
The People's Play: A Hike in Players
With 4.3 million monthly active players (MAPs) on board, FanDuel has shown no signs of slowing down. That's a 100%-proof increase of 11% in the US [1]. So if you thought this party was packed, just wait until the next round!
The Crunchin' Numbers: Greenback, Greenback, Greenback
Let's talk dollars and sense: Flutter Entertainment scored a net income of $335 million in Q1 2025, which is a pretty penny more than the net loss of $177 million they experienced last year [1][5]. All this while generating an adjusted EBITDA of $616 million, marking a 20% increase [1][5]. That's as smart as it gets, folks!
Keep Your Eye on the Prize, Bub
Just as we suspected, FanDuel dominates the market, retaining its 43% share in gross gaming revenue [1] and capturing a 27% share of the US iGaming pie [1]. So don't be a sore loser — FanDuel's here to stay!
The Chess Master: Strategic Moves
Although these savings and earnings occurred primarily in the US, Flutter snatched up some significant market share in other parts of the world. For example, they acquired a foothold in Italy through Snaitech, a smart move to further boost their global position [4]. Keep your eyes on the board, folks!
The Future Ain't What It Used to Be: What's Next for Flutter Entertainment
Flutter expects to see even bigger numbers in the US market by the end of the year. They've made some solid predictions for 2025: US revenue between $7.2 and $7.65 billion, and an adjusted EBITDA landing between $1.01 and $1.25 billion [6]. If these numbers fall smack-dab in the middle of the forecast, that means a mouthwatering 28% revenue increase and a jaw-dropping 123% jump in adjusted EBITDA compared to last year's performance [6]. In other words, hold onto your hats, folks — it's looking like a wild ride!
