Flutter originally floated the idea of a US listing in February. One of the key reasons for such a move would the growing success of its North America-focused FanDuel brand. It sees FanDuel as eventually becoming the group’s biggest revenue driver. A US listing would boost the company’s profile, provide access to deeper capital markets, and help with recruitment.
