Key Takeaways
  • International gaming giant Flutter is finally executing on some cross-product synergies following years of M&A that has, until now, kept each product and division in the corporation mostly siloed.
  • In the last few months, the company has announced three major developments that each involve teams from different Flutter divisions working together.
  • Perhaps the most significant is FanDuel and PokerStars in Ontario combining to form a single product offering: PokerStars will bring casino and poker products to complement FanDuel’s sportsbook. This could be the first of what may be a template for other markets, including the United States.
