About Flutter Entertainment plc
The world's largest online betting group by revenue, formed when Paddy Power merged with Betfair in 2016 and later absorbed The Stars Group (PokerStars, Sky Betting & Gaming). Recent deals added Italy's Snai (2025) and a majority of Brazil's NSX/Betnacional (2025); its Brazilian sites had to go offline in October 2026 under a provisional Brazilian ban on fixed-odds betting. FanDuel is its main US brand.
Headquarters: Ireland (incorporated); operational HQ New York, USA · Founded: 2016 · Ownership: listed (NYSE: FLUT)
How we know, and what we could not confirm
How we know: NSX Brasil S.A. (CNPJ 55.056.104/0001-00) held the SPA authorisation (Portaria SPA/MF nº 2.092/2024); Flutter bought 56% of NSX in May 2025. MP 1.394/2026 (25 Sep 2026) banned fixed-odds betting in Brazil: sites had to go offline from 6 Oct 2026 and all SPA authorisations end on 25 Oct 2026. The MP still needs approval by Congress and is challenged at the STF.
