Flutter Entertainment has closed the deal with Boyd Gaming to take full control of FanDuel. Boyd has sold its 5% stake while agreeing to keep the partnership running until 2038. Market access savings from the deal have already been in effect since 1 July 2025, marking a big step in Flutter FanDuel ownership.

• Flutter now owns all of FanDuel after buying out Boyd’s last 5% stake. The agreement also locks in a long-term partnership that will run for another 13 years. The financial benefits of the deal began from early July.

• Full Flutter FanDuel ownership means the company can manage the brand without a minority shareholder. Flutter says this will help streamline decisions and operations in its US sportsbook business. Boyd will continue to provide support as part of the extended partnership.

• FanDuel remains one of the core brands in Flutter’s US portfolio. It sits alongside Sky Betting & Gaming, Paddy Power, Betfair, and PokerStars. Flutter says the combination of these brands makes it the biggest online betting and iGaming operator globally.

• Boyd Gaming, despite selling its stake, will stay closely linked to FanDuel. Its casinos will continue to give FanDuel key market access in multiple states. The arrangement is now secured through 2038, offering long-term stability for both sides.

• Flutter also pointed to its group strategy, known as the Flutter Edge and Positive Impact Plan. These focus on sustainable growth, regulatory compliance, and responsible gambling. The company says its scale supports competitive strength in regulated markets.
