FDJ UNITED reported lower revenue for the first nine months of 2026 which was affected by higher gaming taxes and weaker lottery sales. The online betting and gaming business also recorded a decline. See more details for Q1-Q3 2026:

• Group results: Gross gaming revenue (GGR) fell 2.8% to EUR 6.26 billion. After EUR 3.80 billion in public levies, net gaming revenue (NGR) declined 5.2% to EUR 2.46 billion. Total revenue, including other business income, fell 5.6% to EUR 2.58 billion.
• Online betting and gaming: GGR fell 0.8% to EUR 1.01 billion, representing 16.2% of total group GGR, excluding online lottery activities (OGQ calculation). Revenue declined 8.2% to EUR 619 million. Excluding the UK and Netherlands, GGR rose 5.7%, while GGR fell 24.4% in the UK and 8.6% in the Netherlands.
• Lottery and retail betting: French lottery and retail sports betting GGR fell 3.5% to EUR 4.98 billion, while revenue declined 4.8% to EUR 1.79 billion. Online lottery GGR fell 4.6%, although web-exclusive games grew nearly 30%. According to FDJ UNITED, digital accounted for 15% of lottery revenue, unchanged from the previous period.
• Higher gambling taxes: Gaming taxes are generally calculated on GGR, while NGR represents GGR after public levies. FDJ UNITED reported EUR 3.80 billion in public levies, compared with EUR 3.86 billion a year earlier. Higher gaming tax rates nevertheless reduced revenue by EUR 62 million during the nine-month period.
• Business performance: FDJ UNITED revenue declined across all four business units. International lottery revenue fell 4.7% to EUR 118 million, while Payment and Services revenue declined 5.6% to EUR 44 million. CEO Stéphane Pallez also pointed to “a decrease in traffic at points of sale” and higher taxation.
