PRODUCTS LAUNCHED
Flutter Entertainment currently owns and operates FanDuel, a sports betting and gaming company that offers online casino, fantasy sports, horseracing and sportsbook products. Flutter Entertainment acquired FanDuel in 2018 as part of a deal to boost its US presence after legislators overturned a federal ban on sports betting.
FanDuel is the clear market leader in US online sports betting.
Bryant's arrival at Flutter was signalled as a key move before it announced a secondary US listing for the company, as it seeks to utilise FanDuel's market strength.
"I am very excited to succeed Gary as Chair of Flutter. I look forward to working with Peter and the management team to grow the business, and to take advantage of the many exciting opportunities that lie ahead" John Bryant
